Accounting for non-majority-owned intercorporate investments: a cashflow assessment of alternative methods

Article Abstract:

A study on the accuracy of the cost, equity and market value methods of accounting in predicting future cashflows oflong term intercorporate investments is discussed. Each of the three methods are used to determine the income streams of the 148 companies used in the study. Each of these income streams are then compared with the income stream measured by the annualized cash yield. Results of the study show that the equity method is the most accurate of the three methods in predicting future cashflows.
