Influence or Control
An investment of 20% or more of the voting stock of an investee should lead to a presumption that an investor has the ability to exercise significant influence over an investee.

2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Advanced Accounting 8/e, Beams/Anthony/Clement/Lowensohn

2 - 17

Influence or Control
The equity method should be followed by an investor whose investment in voting stock gives it the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies on an investee even though the investor does not control the investee.
2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Advanced Accounting 8/e, Beams/Anthony/Clement/Lowensohn

2 - 18

Influence or Control
An investor may be able to exert significant influence over its investee with an investment interest of less then 20%.
