Analysis of Investments
High level of difficulty
Accounting Policy on Investments
Investments in securities with a maturity date greater than three months at the date of purchase and other securities for which there is more than an insignificant risk of change in value due to interest rate, quoted price, or penalty on withdrawal are classified as Marketable securities.
Realized gains and losses and interest income on all of Ford’s marketable securities and unrealized gains and losses on securities not classified as available for sale are recorded in Other income/(loss), net. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are recognized in Unrealized gains and losses on securities, a component of Other comprehensive income/(loss), net of tax. Realized gains and losses and reclassifications of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income are measured using the specific identification method.
On a quarterly basis, Ford reviews the available for sale securities for impairment. If Ford concludes that any of these investments are impaired, Ford determines whether such impairment is other-than-temporary. Factors Ford considers to make such determination include the duration and severity of the impairment, the reason for the decline in value, and the potential recovery period and the intent to sell. If any impairment is considered other-than-temporary, Ford will write down the asset to its fair value and record the corresponding charge in Other income/(loss), net.
