| Clint | Is this question right? II appears wrong. |
| pranit | II is correct. Total net assets is shareholder's equity, which is identical under both methods. |
| actiger | Net assets = total assets - liability? |
| aravinda | Total net assets is also know as "net worth, share holder's equity OR owner's equity"... Total net worth = Total assets - total liability It is usually comprised of "capital stock + retained earnings"...in either methods (equity or proportionate consolidation), the net worth is same. |
I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
