accounting Equity method in accounting is the process of treating equity investments, usually 20 50 , in associate companies. The investor keeps such equities as an asset. The investor s proportional share of the associate company s net income increases the investment and a net loss decreases the investment , and proportional payment of dividends decreases it. In the investor s income statement, the proportional share of the investee s net income or net loss is reported as a single line item. The ownership of more than 50 of voting stock creates a subsidiary . Its financial statements consolidate into the parent s.
