Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Choice 'a' is correct. Unrealized loss on investments in marketable equity securities available for sale would cause earnings to differ from comprehensive income for an enterprise in an industry not having specialized accounting principles.

Rule: FAC 5 defines 'earnings' for a period to exclude certain cumulative accounting adjustments and other non-owner changes in equity (such as changes in market value of marketable securities available for sale) that are included in comprehensive income for a period.
