Question - The following investments are held by investors that are public companies:
1. Common shares are bought in a public company whose shares are broadly held and widely traded. The company is a supplier of the investor. The investor owns 30% of the voting shares, and puts three people on a 16-member board of directors. The intent is to hold the investment for a considerable period of time because of strategic ties.
2. Twenty-year, fixed rate bonds. Management is holding these bonds with the objective to receive the cash flows. However, management expects interest rates to fall and the price of the bonds to increase significantly over the coming year. If this happens, the investment will be sold.
3. To invest idle cash, common shares are bought in a large, public company, a tiny fraction of the outstanding common shares. The shares are pledged as collateral against demand bank loans. The fair value of the shares, and market conditions, are regularly evaluated to see if the shares should be held or sold. The investor wishes gains and losses to be excluded from earnings because of volatility.

6. Common shares are bought in a small, family-owned business. The investor is the only nonfamily shareholder. The shares constitute 30% of the voting shares, and the investor has one member on an eight-member board of directors, all of the rest of whom are appointed by members of the family investor group. Fair values for the shares are not available as they are rarely sold.
