SPSCC note:

A bit of history might be useful here — about 20 years ago, FASB made significant changes to the way we account for investments in equity and debt (bonds) securities.  The topic became very complex and was often eliminated from the introductory financial accounting courses.  This is why the OER book that we’ve used thus far didn’t have a chapter on investments.  So I had to look for other OER textbooks for a chapter on the topic.  You will probably notice the change in authors through their writing.
