What is a STO Group of answer choices

The following terms were introduced in this chapter:
Strategic investments
Non-strategic investments
Investments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Investments at amortized cost (AC)
Match each term with the following definitions:
_________ Debt securities that are held to earn interest income
_________ Investments purchased to influence or control another company
_________ Debt or equity investments that require holding gains or losses to be included in the determination of the company’s profit or loss.
_________ Investments purchased mainly to generate investment income
Accounting for equity investments in other entities depends crucially on the level of influence the investor holds on the investee. we learned how to account for equity investments where the investors obtain control over the investees. after that we learned the case where the investors can exert 'significant influence' over the investees. In the former case, the investor is required to consolidate the investee's financial statements, while in the latter the investor shall apply the 'equity method' to account for the investment.
Discuss whether it is more desirable to require uniform accounting treatment for equity investments regardless of the level of influence the investor holds on the investee.
(and is uniform accounting treatment the questions mentioned means the consolidated accounting?)
