Im busy, for a gist, Co A invested in B. A is a loss making company. Since yove jnvested lesser than 20% of the wgole shares, youll treat it as trading investment. Company A doesnt need to have reserves to make investments. Dividends get paid to pref shareholders. Company A will het hain or loss on investment. Thats simple maths (fairvalue of investment*new market index/old market index) youll know the momentum and then subtract old value with new value after my formula. If you get negative balance its a loss oj investment or else gaun
