26 April 2011 AS13 says that carrying amount of Long Term Investment usually at Cost, or
if there is decline in value of investment which is not temporary, then carrying amount of investment is reduced by the amount of such decline.
My doubt is if there is an increase in value of investment after 1 year of purchase of such investment which is not temporary, then what would be the carrying amount of investment for the purpose of Balance sheet?
