    Hi Mr Mike, I have a question relating to past exam paper 2015

    In the preparation of Profit and loss and other comprehensive income of moston there is financial asset in the trial balance.

    At the end of year financiall asset f/b was 9600
    at the start of year financial asset-8800
    gain on financial asset;equity investment-800
    also in this trial balance there is gain on revaluation during the year 2400
    This gain 800 was recognised under p/l
    i recognised 800 an d 2400 under Other comprehensive income under profit for the year but in the answer they put 800 in the p/l preparation which it increased profit for the year

    but in conclusion other comprehensive figure is correct.

    Usually it should be recognized under oci because when i was solving other trial balance preparation i recognized it under OCI but if for instance only p/l required then i recognized it inside of p/l preparation.
    Usually gain loss arising from financial asset equity investment should be recognised under OCI but there is one important case if gain or loss is arising from original amount of financial asset and sales proceed then reclassified it in Retained earning
    debit other equity reserve
    credit retained earning

    “Hi Mr Mike, I have a question relating to past exam paper 2015”

    WHICH EXAM????

    I think we have to assume that no election has been made and so the financial asset equity investment is at fair value through profit or loss. If there HAD been an election, the examiner would have told you

    Here’s an extract from the IASPLUS IFRS9 webpage

    “for equity investments, the FVTOCI classification is an election”
