Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction:

The investment is initially recorded at a cost under the equity method of accounting and later amended to reflect changes in the investor's share of the investee's net assets after the acquisition. When one company, the investor, significantly influences another company, the investee, the equity method is the conventional strategy employed.
