    @Kala Buerger – By this point, it's sheer willpower and refusal to give up. Make sure you're studying the way that works best for you, and get your family and friends to either support you (my extended family cooks for me and helps get my kids transported so I have more study time) or stay out of your way (my friends sent encouraging messages, keep track of test dates, and minimize distracting invitations during the cram weeks). I just realized I have a totally awesome support system!!!

    Oh – and in my head, there are no failures. Only talk about and think about the passing scores! (just helps keep me focused and positive)

    Man, it's beautiful outside! 71 degrees here in Richmond, and it's taking some strong willpower for me to keep my head in the study game. Reading the score release posts aren't helping either.

    @mtaylo24 – Beaming envy at you!!!! I just came in from an hour shoveling heavy, wet snow. It's supposed to be down in the 20's tonight so it had to be cleared before it freezes down – then it should be in the 50s tomorrow. The wonders of New England weather!

    I could be in your area before too long – my engineering company's centralized accounting group for the US is in Richmond, and once I pass the exams I plan to see about transferring over. My 80-year-old mom would LOVE 70-degree weather in February!

    Yeah, my son has an internship in Boston so he had to commute with all the fans this morning. I figure they'll mostly be home by the time he comes back tonight!

    Can you please help me understand this question?
    It asks about comprehensive income not other comprehensive income – which I thought I two different things? Am I missing something? Thanks

    A company reports the following information as of December 31:

    Sales revenue $800,000
    Cost of goods sold 600,000
    Operating expenses 90,000
    Unrealized holding gain on available-
    for-sale securities, net of tax 30,000

    What amount should the company report as comprehensive income as of December 31?

    A. $30,000
    B. $110,000
    C. $140,000
    D. $200,000

    Other comprehensive income is computed as follows:

    Sales revenue $800,000
    Cost of goods sold 600,000
    ——–
    Gross profit $200,000
    Operating expenses 90,000
    ——–
    Net income $110,000
    Unrealized holding gain 30,000
    ——–
    Comprehensive income $140,000

    Could someone please help

    Are gains from in investment property fair value adjustments reported on OCI? I though gains are reported on OCI and loss are reported on income statement. Why choice ā€œcā€ from below is incorrect?
    Which of the following statements regarding the accounting for investment property under IFRS is correct?

    a. When investment property is reported at cost less accumulated depreciation, fair value must be disclosed.

    b. The best evidence of the fair value of investment property is the present value of expected future cash flows.

    c. Gains arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are reported in other comprehensive income.

    d. Investment property may be reported at cost less accumulated depreciation or fair value less accumulated depreciation.

    Explanation
    Choice “a” is correct. When investment property is reported at cost less accumulated depreciation, fair value must be disclosed.
    Choice “d” is incorrect. This statement is incorrect. Investment property may be reported at cost less accumulated depreciation or fair value. When investment property is reported at fair value, it is not depreciated.
    Choice “c” is incorrect. This statement is incorrect. Gains and losses from investment property fair value adjustments are reported on the income statement. Revaluation gains on fixed assets not classified as investment property are reported in other comprehensive income.

    @monicasanta Only gains above the original cost are reported in OCI. If you lose money it's reported in income, a recovery of that previous loss is also reported in income. Any gains above that original loss are reported in OCI. I hope this makes sense.

    @cdn It looks like the answer uses the wrong terms. Comprehensive income is Net Income +/- Other Comprehensive Income. The OCI in that problem is $30k, but total Comprehensive income is the $110,000 + $30,000

    @demarcon and @cdn – Be careful on the IFRS revaluation of investment property, it is slightly different from fixed assets not classified as investment property. The rule @demarcon stated is for NON-investment property.

    For INVESTMENT property (IFRS only) all gains and losses are reported in income, none go to OCI. I believe this is because when the fair-value measurement model is used, those gains and losses are “in the normal course of business” of being a landlord. US GAAP does not have an investment property classification.
