Answer c

 

Fair value of S and T – December 31, 2011

8, 400,000

Fair value of S and T – December 31, 2010

8, 100,000

Unrealized gain in 2011

300,000

Unrealized loss on S and T – December 31, 2010

(9, 000,000-8, 100,000)

 

(900, 000)

Cumulative unrealized loss – December 31, 2011

(600, 000)

Total fair value – December 31, 2011

8, 400,000

Total cost of S and T (4, 000,000+5, 000,000)

9, 000,000

Cumulative unrealized loss – December 31, 2011

(600, 000)

 

The unrealized gain of P300, 000 is shown in the 2011 statement of comprehensive income as component of other comprehensive income.

However, the cumulative unrealized loss of P600, 000 would appear in the statement of changes in equity.
