Equity method:
If the investor company owns a large amount of common stock of another company, then it is able to exercise its significant influence over the operating and the financial policy of the investee company. The investor might be able to influence the investee company’s dividend policy with respect to the own cash needs or to raise its income or for the consideration of the tax. In addition to this, the investor may use this influence to create a favorable operating relationship with the investee. Thus, the equity method is used for this type of investment.
