AICPA CPA-Financial Exam - Topic 3 Question 20 Discussion

Posted by Ligia on May 04, 2022 at 09:03 AM

Reclassification adjustments must be shown in the financial statement that discloses comprehensive income:

Suggested Answer: C

Choice 'c' is correct. Reclassification entries may be necessary to avoid double counting an item previously reported as comprehensive income (i.e., unrealized gain), which are now reported as part of net income (i.e., realized gain).

Choice 'a' is incorrect. The classification of assets as current or non-current has no bearing on reporting comprehensive income.

Choice 'b' is incorrect. All items of comprehensive income must be shown net of the related tax effects, but it is not done with reclassification adjustments.

Choice 'd' is incorrect. Transactions with shareholders such as paying dividends and issuing capital stock are not included in comprehensive income, thus, reclassification adjustments are not necessary to exclude them.

The Persona access landing page - I'm not sure if that's relevant to this question or not. I'll have to double-check that.

Hmm, I'm not sure about the cookie. Wouldn't that need to be distributed as well? I'll have to think this through carefully.

I just can't recall the exact terms! I know it's related to communication, but I might be mixing it up with other concepts.
