Multiple Choice

When an investment is accounted for using the Equity Method, how are the investor's share of the investee's income from non-operating sources (such as gains or losses from discontinued operations) to be accounted for by the investor?


A) Any such gains or losses are to be charged directly to Retained Earnings net of tax.
