Option A is the classic 'separate statement' approach, but options C and D give more flexibility. I'd go with C since it covers the most ground.

Haha, imagine if they said comprehensive income shouldn't be reported at all - that would be like a black hole in the financial statements! Good thing option B isn't the right answer.

I'm leaning towards option D. Separate statements of comprehensive income don't seem to be allowed, so the combined statement or disclosure within the equity statement are the way to go.

Option C sounds like the most comprehensive approach. Reporting comprehensive income in a separate statement, a combined statement, or within the statement of stockholders' equity seems to cover all the bases.

I think reporting comprehensive income in multiple ways provides a clearer picture of the company's financial performance.

I disagree, I believe comprehensive income can be reported in a combined statement of income and comprehensive income.

I agree with Fatima, it makes sense to have it as part of a complete set of financial statements.
