Question

Now- a quick question. Assume at the beginning of Year2, Becker Company has a credit (positive) balance in the AOCI account of $10800. Becker Company reports $653000 of net income for Year2. Becker has an unrealized gain of $12000 during Year2. The gain qualifies as OCI (Other comprehensive income). 1. What will Becker report as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the Year2 balance sheet

Answer 1

Answer:

Becker Company

The amount that Becker will report as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the Year 2 balance sheet is:

= $22,800.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Year 2 Beginning balance:

Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) = $10,800 credit

Year 2 reported net income = $653,000

Unrealized gain during Year 2 = $12,000

The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the Year 2 balance sheet is:

Beginning balance $10,800

Unrealized gain        12,000

AOCI for Year 2 = $22,800

b) Becker's Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income includes unrealized gains and losses arising from some investments, pension plans, and hedging transactions.  These are usually reported in the equity section of the balance sheet and then netted off from the retained earnings.
