Explanation of Solution

Available-for-sale securities (AFSS): These are short-term or long-term investments in debt and equity securities with an intention of holding the investment for some strategic purposes like meeting liquidity needs, or manage interest risk.

Justification for correct answer: C’s investment in M’s Stock is less than 2%, so, the investment cannot be equity-method investment. C’s investment in M’s Stock is intended to be held for 3 years and sell off. Hence, it is classified as available-for-sale investment. Hence, option (c) is correct.

Justification for incorrect answers:

  • Option (a) is incorrect answer because trading securities are short-term investments in debt and equity securities with an intention of trading and earning profits due to changes in market prices.
  • Option (b) is incorrect answer because equity investments are stock instruments which claim significant influence of above 20% but less than 50% in the outstanding stock of the investee company.
  • Option (d) is incorrect answer because consolidation is the type of investment which claims significant control and ownership of above 50% in the outstanding stock of the investee company.
Conclusion

Thus, option (c) is the correct answer.
