Q1. Yes Q2. Not held for trading AND irrevocable election. Q3. Method 2. ASSUMING THERE ARE NO DISPOSAL COSTS WHICH MUST BE EXPENSED IN P&L. Note that the 5 transfer is within reserves and does NOT hit the P&L for the year. Q4. Step 1 OK. Step 2 NOT OK - you Dr OCI and Cr P&L (changing reported profit for year; not a simple reserve transfer). ONE QUESTION PER POST IN FUTURE PLEASE :)
