The fair values of Big's investment in Little, as determined by market prices, were $245,000, $282,000, and $325,000 at the end of 2017, 2018, and 2019, respectively

    Question:

    Compare the value with equity method and fair value

    Explanation:

    For the equity method we need to add up the 20% of the income and subtract the 20% of the dividends as we have a portion of influence inside the company we earn what the company earns and we distribute that amount to ourselve so the cash is pumping money form one company nto another not a gain.
