Learning Objectie 1
Understand and explain
intercompany transfers and
why they must be
eliminated.
6-2
Road Map: Intercompany Transactons
 Typical intercompany transactions

Intercompany reciprocal accounts (Chapter 4)

Inventory transfers (Chapter 6)

Fixed asset transfers (Chapter 7)

Intercompany Indebtedness (Chapter 8)
6-3
Arm’s-Length Transactons
Q:
What are “Arm’s-length” Transactions?
A:
“Transactions that take place between
completely independent parties.”
6-4
Categories of Transactons
 Arm’s Length Transactions
 The only transactions that can be reported in the
consolidated statements.
 We want to report the results of our interactions
with outside parties!
 Non-Arm’s Length Transactions
 Usually referred to as “related party transactions.”
 Include all intercompany transactions.
6-5
Types of “Related Party” Transactons
 Involving only Individuals
 Transactions among family members
 Involving Corporations
 With management and other employees
 With directors and stockholders
 With affiliates (controlled entities)
 Probably constitutes at least 99% of all corporate
related-party transactions
6-6
Necessity of Eliminatng Intercompany Transactons
 Eliminate all intercompany transactions in
consolidation:
 Because they are internal transactions from a
consolidated perspective.
 Not because they are related-party transactions.
 Only transactions with outside unrelated parties
can be reported in the consolidated statements.
6-7
Intercompany Transactons: Additonal
Opportunites for Fraud
 Intercompany transactions sometimes
occur to
 conceal embezzlements.
 overstate reported profits.
2 + 2 = 5
6-8
Example 1: Intercompany Loan
 A 12-year old girl lends $5 to her 17-year-old
brother.
 From the standpoint of individuals, this
represents a receivable and a payable.
 If the family prepares a “consolidated balance
sheet”, what is the effect?

No net change to the family’s wealth.

Not a transaction with a non-family person.
6-9
Example 2:
Sale from Parent to Sub to Outsider
 Parent has 19 subsidiaries.
 Parent has received a $1 order from an
outsider.
 Parent sells inventory to Sub 1 for $1.
Sub 1 sells the inventory to Sub 2 for $1.
 Sub 2 sells the inventory to Sub 3 for $1.
 The inventory is sold from one sub to another until Sub 19
sells it to the outsider for $1.

 The parent and each sub reports sales of $1.
 From a consolidated standpoint, what is the
total amount of sales?
6-10
Example 3: Sale from Parent to Sub, But Not Yet to
an Outsider
 Sleazy Parent Company has one sub.
 Sleazy Parent is preparing for an IPO.
 Sleazy Parent owns lots of obsolete inventory
which it cannot sell.
 Sleazy Parent sells the obsolete inventory (costing
$1,000) to its sub for $100,000.
 Sleazy Sub now holds the inventory.
 Without any adjustment, what items in Sleazy’s
consolidated financial statements will be
misstated?

Let’s work through an example:
 Assume Parent Co. owns 100% of Sub Co.
 The following intercompany transactions occurred during
the year:



Parent loaned $500 to Sub. To keep things simple, assume that
there is no interest revenue or interest expense associated with this
loan.
Parent made a sale to Sub for $400 cash. The inventory had
originally cost Parent $250. Sub then sold that same inventory to an
outsider for $500.
Parent made a sale to Sub for $300 cash. The inventory had
originally cost Parent $200. Sub has not yet sold that same
inventory to an outsider.
 What consolidation worksheet entries would you make?
6-13

Fully-adjusted Equity Method Adjustment
 Parent companies have to adjust their equity method
investment accounts for certain transactions.
 At this point, let’s just consider one:


Sale from parent to sub, but not yet sold to an outsider.
It represents “fake profit” that hasn’t really been realized
in an arm’s-length transaction.
 Both the balance sheet and income statement
accounts need to be adjusted.
 This is a REAL journal entry, not a consolidation
worksheet entry!
6-20
Equity Method Adjustment Example
$500
Parent $600
Summary of the Transaction:
 Parent purchased inventory for $500.
 Parent sold the inventory to a Sub for
$600.

 The Parent recognized $100 of “fake gross profit! 100
 The Parent should have transferred the inventory at cost.
 This profit is not from a transaction with an arm’s length
independent party.

Group Practce
 Assume Parent Co. owns 100% of Sub Co.
 The following intercompany transactions occurred during
the year:



Parent loaned $100 to Sub. To keep things simple, assume that there
is no interest revenue or interest expense associated with this loan.
Parent made a sale to Sub for $200 cash. The inventory had originally
cost Parent $120. Sub then sold that same inventory to an outsider for
$300.
Parent made a sale to Sub for $300 cash. The inventory had originally
cost Parent $180. Sub has not yet sold that same inventory to an
outsider. (Don’t forget equity method entry!)

6-25
Learning Objectie 2
Understand and explain
concepts associated with
inventory transfers and
transfer pricing.
6-26
Issue #1: Eliminate Intercompany Transfers?
 Whether to Eliminate Intercompany
Transactions in Consolidation:
 No controversy—they must be eliminated.
 Not eliminating them would cause two problems:
 Meaningless double-counting of
1.
2.
sales, and
expenses
 Potential to manipulate income.
6-27
The Substance of Inientory Transfers
 The CONSOLIDATED Perspective:
 Merely the physical movement of inventory
from one location to another location.
 Similar to the movement of inventory from one
division to another division.
 Not a bona fide transaction.
6-28
Issue #2: Which Measure of Proft To Use?
 Possible theoretical profit measures:

Gross profit

Operating profit

Net income
 Profit measure required under GAAP:

Gross profit (of the selling entity):
Sales
Cost of sales
Gross profit
$1,000
600
$ 400
6-29
Issue #3: Eliminate Income Tax Efects?
 Income taxes play a major role in
intercompany sales and transfer pricing
decisions.
 Income taxes on the selling entity’s unrealized
gross profit must also be eliminated.
 In this chapter :


No income tax entries are required.
Because we assume that the tax effects have
already been recorded in the parent’s or the
subsidiary’s general ledger.
6-30
Issue #4: Whether To Eliminate All or Some?
 Downstream sales to a
partially-owned subsidiary:


Eliminate 100% of unrealized
profit.
Fractional elimination is
prohibited.
 Upstream sales from a
partially-owned subsidiary:


Eliminate 100% of unrealized
profit.
Fractional elimination is
prohibited.
6-31
Issue #4: Whether To Eliminate All or Some?
 Downstream sales to a partiallyowned subsidiary:
 Entire profit accrues to the parent;
thus, sharing is not appropriate.
NCI
P
 Upstream sales from a partiallyowned subsidiary:
 Must share deferral with the NCI
shareholders (if amount is material).
 Because S profits are shared with the
S
NCI shareholders.
6-32
Inientory Transfers: What is “Realizaton”?
 Realization for consolidated reporting
purposes:
 Does not focus on whether the seller has
 delivered the product,
 collected on the sale, or
 reduced to an acceptable level the
uncertainty about the net cash flow effect
of an earnings activity.
6-33
Inientory Transfers: What is “Realizaton”?
 Realization for consolidated reporting
purposes:

Depends on whether the BUYER has resold the
inventory to an outside unaffiliated customer.
Parent
Sub
6-34
Reiiew: Two Types of Transfers
 Parent-to-sub-to-outsider
$750 Parent $1,000
Sub For $1,200
 Parent-to-sub-not-yet-to-outsider
$300 Parent $400

What to Look For
 Most problems will contain


Inventory transferred from parent to sub (downstream),
or
Inventory transferred from sub to parent (upstream).
 Often part of the inventory is sold to an
outsider, but part remains in the buyer’s
ending inventory.
 Key: Any problem can be split into two parts

The portion of the inventory that is sold

The portion of the inventory that is still on hand
6-65
A Comprehensiie Downstream Example
During 20X8, Parent sold inventory originally costing
$60,000 to its 100% owned Sub for $75,000. Sub sold most
of the inventory purchased from Parent (all but $10,000)
for $70,000 to outsiders during the year.

 This transaction can be broken into two pieces:


Parent sells Sub inventory with a cost of $52,000 for
$65,000. Sub then sells this inventory to outsiders for
$70,000.
Parent sells Sub inventory with a cost of $8,000 for
$10,000, which remains on hand in Sub’s ending
inventory.

Understand and explain
additional considerations
associated with consolidation.
6-106
Additonal Consideratons
 Sale from one subsidiary to another



Transfers of inventory often occur between
companies that are under common control or
ownership.
The eliminating entries are identical to those
presented earlier for sales from a subsidiary to its
parent.
The full amount of any unrealized intercompany
profit is eliminated, with the profit elimination
allocated proportionately against the ownership
interests of the selling subsidiary.
6-107
Additonal Consideratons
 Costs associated with transfers


When one affiliate transfers inventory to
another, some additional cost is often
incurred.
Such costs should be treated in the same
way as if the affiliates were operating
divisions of a single company.
6-108
Additonal Consideratons
 Lower-of-cost-or-market

A company might write down inventory
purchased from an affiliate under this rule
if the market value at the end of the period
is less than the intercompany transfer
price.
6-109
Lower-of-Cost-or-Market Example
Assume that a parent company purchases inventory for $20,000 and
sells it to its subsidiary for $35,000. The subsidiary still holds the
inventory at year-end and determines that its market value
(replacement cost) is $25,000 at that time. The subsidiary writes the
inventory down from $35,000 to its lower market value of $25,000 at
the end of the year and records the following entry:
Write-down Inventory to Market Value:
Loss on Decline in Value of Inventory
Make the following worksheet eliminating entry:

Inventory
Loss on Decline in Value of Inventory

35,000
20,000
5,000
10,000
6-110
Additonal Consideratons
 Sales and purchases before affiliation


The consolidation treatment of profits on
inventory transfers that occurred before the
business combination depends on whether the
companies were at that time independent and the
sale transaction was the result of arm’s-length
bargaining.
As a general rule, the effects of transactions that
are not the result of arm’s-length bargaining must
be eliminated.
6-111
Additonal Consideratons
 In the absence of evidence to the contrary,
companies that have joined together in a business
combination are viewed as having been separate
and independent prior to the combination.


If the prior sales were the result of arm’s-length
bargaining, they are viewed as transactions between
unrelated parties.
No elimination or adjustment is needed in preparing
consolidated statements subsequent to the combination,
even if an affiliate still holds the inventory.

Understand and explain
concepts associated with
transfers of long-term assets
and services.
7-2
Summary of GAAP Requirements for Preparing
Consolidated Statements
 All intercompany transactions must be
eliminated in consolidation.
 The full amount of unrealized intercompany
profit or gain must be eliminated.

The deferral is shared with NCI shareholders in
upstream transactions.
7-3
Big Picture: The Consolidated Perspectie
 From a consolidated viewpoint,
the reported amount for a fixed
asset cannot change merely
because the asset has been
moved to a different location
within the consolidated group.
 Objective:


Undo the transfer.
Make it appear as if we only
changed the estimated useful
life of asset.
P
Long-term
Asset
S
7-4
Diferent Asset Types
 Non-depreciable Assets
The transfer of non-depreciable assets is very
similar to the transfer of inventory
 Eliminate gains like unrealized gross profit

 Depreciable Assets
Eliminate the seller’s gain
 Adjust transferred asset back to old basis
 Adjust depreciation back to what it would have
otherwise been if the original owner had
depreciated the asset based on the revised
estimate of useful life

7-5
Intercompany Transfers of Seriices
 When one company purchases services from a
related company, the purchaser typically records an
expense and the seller records a revenue.



In the consolidation worksheet, an eliminating entry
would be needed to reduce both revenue (debit) and
expense (credit).
Because the revenue and expense are equal and both
are eliminated, income is unaffected by the
elimination.
The elimination is still important because otherwise
both revenues and expenses are overstated.
7-6
Practce Quiz Queston #1
The goal in preparing eliminating entries
related to asset transfers among affiliated
companies is to:
a. Emphasize gains and losses in the
consolidated financial statements.
b. Eliminate gains and losses and re-adjust
the basis of the transferred asset to what
it would have been on the original
owner’s books.
c. Augment consolidated income.
d. Decrease consolidated income.

Example 1: 100% Ownership Land Transfer (NonDepreciable)
 On 3/31/X5, Parker Inc. sold land costing $40,000 to its 100% owned subsidiary, Stubben Inc., for
$100,000.
 In this example, we’ll do consolidation worksheet entries without adjusting the equity method
accounts.
 This is the modified equity method.
 This is meant to be a conceptual exercise only. (We will switch to the fully adjusted equity

Transfers of Depreciable Assets
 What is the major difference between depreciable and
non-depreciable assets?
Depreciation—DUH!
 Adds complexity because you have a “moving target” instead of a
stationary target. However, the concepts are the same!

 Adjust for:
Unrealized gain (same as with land)
 Differences in depreciation expense

 The goal is to get back to the asset’s old basis “as if ” it were
still on the books of the original owner.
One difference—depreciated going forward based on the new
estimated new life.
 Same as a change of depreciation estimates on any company’s books

7-45
Deieloping Fixed Asset Eliminaton Entries
 Compare “Actual” with “As if ”


“Actual”
= How the transferred asset and
related accounts actually appear on the
companies’ books
“ As if ”
= How the transferred asset and
related accounts would have appeared if the
asset had stayed on the original owner’s books
 The difference between the two gives
the elimination entry or entries.
7-46
Choosing the Right Depreciable Life
 What’s not relevant?

The original owner’s remaining useful life
at the transfer date.
 What’s relevant?

The acquirer’s estimated remaining useful
life (if different from the original remaining
life).

Assume Padre Corp. purchased a machine on 1/1/20X1 for
$100,000 and estimated that the machine would have a useful
life of 10 years with no salvage value. After two years, on
12/31/20X2, Padre Corp. sold the machine to its 100% owned
subsidiary, Sonny Co., for $90,000. Sonny Co. estimated that the
asset had a remaining useful life of five years.

How much depreciation expense will Sonny record in 20X3?

How much depreciation expense would Padre have recorded in 20X3
if it had retained the machine and simply changed the estimated life
to five years?

machinery has a book value of $60,000 on this date (cost
$120,000 and accumulated depreciation $60,000), and it is
sold to Sophocles for $90,000. Thus, this transaction
produces an unrealized gain of $30,000. Assume that
Pericles adjusts its equity method accounts accordingly.
Note: Transfer is on last day of the year.

Intercompany Transfers of Amortzable Assets
 Accounting for intangible assets usually differs
from accounting for tangible assets in that
amortizable intangibles normally are reported
at the remaining unamortized balance without
the use of a contra account.
 Other than netting the accumulated
amortization on an intangible asset against the
asset cost, the intercompany sale of intangibles
is treated the same in consolidation as the
intercompany sale of tangible assets.

The Accountng IIueI
 Foreign currency transactions of a U.S.
company denominated in other
currencies must be restated to their U.S.
dollar equivalents before they can be
recorded in the U.S. company’s books and
included in its financial statements.

Translation: The process of restating foreign
currency transactions to their U.S. dollar
equivalent values
8-3
The Accountng IIueI
 Many U.S. corporations have
multinational operations


The foreign subsidiaries prepare their financial
statements in the currency of their countries.
The foreign currency amounts in these financial
statements have to be translated into their U.S.
dollar equivalents before they can be
consolidated with the U.S. parent’s financial
statements.
8-4
Foreign Currency Exchange RateI
 Foreign currency exchange rates between
currencies are established daily by
foreign exchange brokers who serve as
agents for individuals or countries
wishing to deal in foreign currencies.

Some countries maintain an official fixed rate of
currency exchange
8-5
Foreign Currency Exchange RateI
 Determination of exchange rates


Exchange rates change because of a number of
economic factors affecting the supply of and
demand for a nation’s currency.
Factors causing fluctuations are a nation’s

Level of inflation

Balance of payments

Changes in a country’s interest rate

Investment levels

Stability and process of governance
8-6
Foreign Currency Exchange RateI
 Direct Exchange Rate (DER) is the number
of local currency units (LCUs) needed to
acquire one foreign currency unit (FCU)

From the viewpoint of a U.S. entity:
U.S. dollar – equivalent value
DER =
1 FCU
8-7
Foreign Currency Exchange RateI
 Indirect Exchange Rate (IER) is the
reciprocal of the direct exchange rate

From the viewpoint of a U.S. entity:
1 FCU
IER =
U.S. dollar – equivalent value
8-8
Foreign Currency Exchange RateI
 DER is identified as American terms

To indicate that it is U.S. dollar–based and
represents an exchange rate quote from the
perspective of a person in the United States
 IER is identified as European terms

To indicate the direct exchange rate from the
perspective of a person in Europe, which means
the exchange rate shows the number of units of
the European’s local currency units per one U.S.
dollar
8-9
Foreign Currency Exchange RateI
 Changes in exchange rates


Strengthening of the U.S. dollar—direct
exchange rate decreases, implies:

Taking less U.S. currency to acquire one FCU

One U.S. dollar acquiring more FCUs
Weakening of the U.S. dollar—direct exchange
rate increases, implies:

Taking more U.S. currency to acquire one FCU

One U.S. dollar acquiring fewer FCUs



The spot rate is the exchange rate for immediate
delivery of currencies.
The current rate is defined simply as the spot
rate on the entity’s balance sheet date.
8-12
Foreign Currency Exchange RateI
 Forward Exchange Rates



The forward rate on a given date is not the same
as the spot rate on the same date.
Expectations about the relative value of
currencies are built into the forward rate.
The Spread:

The difference between the forward rate and the spot
rate on a given date.

Gives information about the perceived strengths or
weaknesses of currencies

Foreign Currency TranIactonI
 Foreign currency transactions are
economic activities denominated in a
currency other than the entity’s recording
currency.
 These include:
1. Purchases or sales of goods or services (imports or
exports), the prices of which are stated in a foreign
currency
2. Loans payable or receivable in a foreign currency
3. Purchase or sale of foreign currency forward exchange
contracts
4. Purchase or sale of foreign currency units
8-17
Foreign Currency TranIactonI
 For financial statement purposes, transactions
denominated in a foreign currency must be
translated into the currency the reporting
company uses
 At each balance sheet date, account balances
denominated in a currency other than the
entity’s reporting currency must be adjusted to
reflect changes in exchange rates during the
period

The adjustment in equivalent U.S . dollar values is a
foreign currency transaction gain or loss for the entity
when exchange rates have changed
8-18
Example: Foreign Currency TranIactonI
Assume that a U.S. company acquires €5,000 from its bank on
January 1, 20X1, for use in future purchases from German
companies. The direct exchange rate is $1.20 = €1; thus, the
company pays the bank $6,000 for €5,000, as follows:
U.S. dollar equivalent value = Foreign currency units x Direct exchange rate
$6,000
=
€5,000
x
$1.20
The following entry records this exchange of currencies:
January 1, 20X1
Foreign Currency Units (€ ) 6,000
Cash

exchange gains or losses resulting from the
revaluation of assets or liabilities denominated
in a foreign currency must be recognized
currently in the income statement of the period
in which the exchange rate changes.

Forward Exchange Financial nItrumentI
 The accounting for derivatives and hedging
activities is guided by three standards:
8-28
Managing nternatonal Currency RiIk with Foreign Currency
Forward Exchange Financial nItrumentI
 A financial instrument is cash, evidence of
ownership, or a contract that both:
1. imposes on one entity a contractual obligation to
deliver cash or another instrument, and
2. conveys to the second entity that contractual right
to receive cash or another financial instrument.
 A derivative is a financial instrument or
other contract whose value is “derived from”
some other item that has a variable value
over time.
8-29
Managing nternatonal Currency RiIk with Foreign Currency
Forward Exchange Financial nItrumentI
 Characteristics of derivatives:


The financial instrument must contain one or
more underlyings (currency exchange rates) and
one or more notional amounts (no. of currency
units), which specify the terms of the financial
instrument.
The financial instrument/ contract requires no
initial net investment or an initial net investment
that is smaller than required for other types of
contracts expected to have a similar response to
changes in market factors.
8-30
Managing nternatonal Currency RiIk with Foreign Currency


Provide for the delivery of an asset that puts the
recipient in an economic position not
substantially different from net settlement, or

Allow for the contract to be readily settled net by
a market or other mechanism outside the

8-31
DeriiatieI DeIignated aI HedgeI
 Two criteria to be met for a derivative
instrument to qualify as a hedging
instrument:
1. Sufficient documentation must be provided at
the beginning of the hedge term to identify the
objective and strategy of the hedge, the hedging
instrument and the hedged item, and how the
hedge’s effectiveness will be assessed on an
ongoing basis.
8-32
DeriiatieI DeIignated aI HedgeI
 Two criteria to be met for a derivative
instrument to qualify as a hedging
instrument:
2. The hedge must be highly effective throughout
its term

Effectiveness is measured by evaluating the
hedging instrument’s ability to generate changes
in fair value that offset the changes in value of the
hedged item.
8-33
DeriiatieI DeIignated aI HedgeI
 Fair value hedges are designated to hedge
the exposure to potential changes in the
fair value of:
a) a recognized asset or liability such as availablefor-sale investments, or
b) an unrecognized firm commitment for which a
binding agreement exists.
 The net gains and losses on the hedged
asset or liability and the hedging
instrument are recognized in current
earnings on the statement of income.
8-34
DeriiatieI DeIignated aI HedgeI
 Cash flow hedges

Designated to hedge the exposure to potential
changes in the anticipated cash flows, either into
or out of the company, for

a recognized asset or liability such as future
interest payments on variable-interest debt, or

a forecasted cash transaction such as a forecasted
purchase or sale.
8-35
DeriiatieI DeIignated aI HedgeI
 Cash flow hedges

Changes in the fair market value are separated
into an effective portion and an ineffective
portion

The net gain or loss on the effective portion of the
hedging instrument should be reported in other
comprehensive income

The gain or loss on the ineffective portion is
reported in current earnings on the statement of
income.

DeriiatieI DeIignated aI HedgeI
 Foreign currency hedges are hedges in
which the hedged item is denominated in

into a foreign currency transaction
A cash flow hedge of a forecasted foreign
currency transaction
A hedge of a net investment in a foreign

8-37
Forward Exchange ContractI
 Forward Exchange Contracts




Contracted through a dealer, usually a bank
Possibly customized to meet contracting
company’s terms and needs
Typically no margin deposit required
Must be completed either with the underlying’s
future delivery or net cash settlement
8-38
Forward Exchange ContractI
 FASB 133 establishes a basic rule of fair
value for accounting for forward
exchange contracts


Changes in the fair value are recognized in the
accounts, but the specific accounting for the
change depends on the purpose of the hedge
For forward exchange contracts, the basic rule is
to use the forward exchange rate to value the
forward contract
8-39
Case 1: Forward Exchange ContractI
Managing an Exposed Foreign Currency Net Asset or
Liability Position: Not a Designated Hedging Instrument
This case presents the most common use of foreign
currency forward contracts, which is to manage a part of the
foreign currency exposure from accounts payable or accounts
receivable denominated in a foreign currency.
Note that the company has entered into a foreign currency
forward contract but that the contract does not qualify for or
the company does not designate the forward contract as a
hedging instrument.
8-40
Case 2: Forward Exchange ContractI
Hedging an Unrecognized Foreign Currency Firm
Commitment: A Foreign Currency Fair Value Hedge
This case presents the accounting for an unrecognized firm
commitment to enter into a foreign currency transaction,
which is accounted for as a fair value hedge.
A firm commitment exists because of a binding agreement
for the future transaction that meets all requirements for a
firm commitment.
The hedge is against the possible changes in fair value of the
firm commitment from changes in the foreign currency
exchange rates.
8-41
Case 3: Forward Exchange ContractI
Hedging a Forecasted Foreign Currency Transaction: A
Foreign Currency Cash Flow Hedge
This case presents the accounting for a forecasted foreign
currency-denominated transaction, which is accounted for as
a cash flow hedge of the possible changes in future cash flows.
The forecasted transaction is probable but not a firm
commitment. Thus, the transaction has not yet occurred nor
is it assured; the company is anticipating a possible future
foreign currency transaction.
Because the foreign currency hedge is against the impact of
changes in the foreign currency exchange rates used to
predict the possible future foreign currency-denominated
cash flows, it is accounted for as a cash flow hedge.
8-42
Case 4: Forward Exchange ContractI
Speculation in Foreign Currency Markets
 This case presents the accounting for foreign currency
forward contracts used to speculate in foreign currency
markets. These transactions are not hedging transactions.
 The foreign currency forward contract is revalued
periodically to its fair value using the forward exchange
rate for the remainder of the contract term.
 The gain or loss on the revaluation is recognized currently
in earnings on the statement of income.

 Hedges of a net investment in a foreign entity


A number of balance sheet management tools are
available for a U.S. company to hedge its net

FASB 133 specifies that for derivative financial
instruments designated as a hedge of the foreign
currency exposure of a net investment in a
foreign operation, the portion of the change in
fair value equivalent to a foreign currency
transaction gain or loss should be reported in
other comprehensive income.
