At the beginning of the question-and-answer portion of the annual shareholder’s meeting of Kemper Ltd., shareholder Mike Kerwin asks, “Why did management sell the holdings in UMW Company at a loss when this company has been very profitable during the period Kemper held its shares?”
Since President Tony Chavez has just concluded his speech on the recent success and bright future of Kemper, he is taken aback by this question and responds, “I remember we paid £1,300,000 for those shares some years ago. I am sure we sold these shares at a much higher price. You must be mistaken.”
Kervin retorts, “Well, right here in footnote number 7 to the annual report it shows that 240,000 shares, a 30% interest in UMW, were sold on the last day of the year. Also, it states that UMW earned £520,000 this year and paid out £160,000 in cash dividends. Further, a summary statement indicates that in past years, while Kemper held UMW shares, UMW earned £1,240,000 and paid out £440,000 in dividends. Finally,…
In early December of 2016, Kettle Corp purchased $50,000 of Icalc Company common stock, which constitutes less than 1% of Icalc’s outstanding shares. By December 31, 2016, the value of Icalc’s investment had fallen to $40,000, and Kettle recorded an unrealized loss. By December 31, 2017, the value of the Icalc investment had fallen to $25,000, and Kettle determined that it can no longer assert that it has both the intent and ability to hold the shares long enough for their fair value to recover, so Kettle recorded an OTT impairment. By December 31, 2018, fair value had recovered to $30,000. Required: Prepare appropriate entry(s) at December 31, 2016, 2017, and 2018, and for each year indicate how the scenario will affect net income, OCI, and comprehensive income.

- LED Corporation owns 100,000 shares of Branch Pharmaceuticals common stock and classifies its investment as securities available-for-sale. The market price of LED’s investment in Branch’s stock fell more than 30%, by $4.50 per share, due to concerns about one of the company’s principal drugs. The concerns were justified when the FDA banned the drug. $1.00 per share of that decline in value already had been included in OCI as a temporary unrealized loss in a prior period.

- Berkshire Hathaway, the investment holding company of Warren Buffett, reports its “less than 20% ownership” investments according to generally accepted accounting principles. However, it also provides additional disclosures that it terms “look-through” earnings. Warren Buffett states,Many of these companies (in the less than 20%-owned category) pay out relatively small proportions of their earnings in dividends. This means that only a small proportion of their earning power is recorded in our own current operating earnings. But, while our reported operating earnings reflect only the dividends received from such companies, our economicwell-being is determined by their earnings, not their dividends.The value to Berkshire Hathaway of retained earnings (of our investees) is not determined by whether we own 100%, 50%, 20%, or 1% of the businesses in which they reside… . Our perspective on such “forgotten-but-not-gone” earnings is simple: the way they are accounted for is of no importance,…arrow_forwardDuringthe most recent year, Smither Travelers Co. bought 3,400 shares of German Corporation common stock at $37, 630 shares of British Corporation stock at $47.00, and 1,400 shares of MilanCorporation stock at $76.
