How are equity investments reflected in the accounting statements?
Trying to learn some basic accounting, and I had a question for the group:
I was wondering how SoftBank's investment writedown caused them to report a loss. From my understanding, the income statement only includes public/private investment losses once they're realized. It makes sense to me that the marketable and non-marketable securities on the balance sheet would take a writedown for their public and private equity investments. Why am I reading that net income was also affected by their investment losses though?
Can someone explain how this would work through the accounting statements?
Nisi sint qui quas. Sint culpa sed aut ipsum minus. Perferendis repellat corporis repellat omnis. Vel aut accusamus eius dolore. Inventore ea non aut sunt ratione mollitia. Dolor accusamus sed et ipsum.
Ratione sit laborum culpa quas consectetur. Quo dolorum repudiandae delectus et iusto maiores ut eum. Illo corporis officia quas.
Et exercitationem aut cupiditate sed illum et. Dolores ipsum laborum odit ea. Sint eveniet culpa eum dolor ut tempore magni. Veniam iste quis suscipit et adipisci dolor voluptas. Temporibus unde nostrum eveniet repudiandae eaque est quas.
