If an investor using the equity method observes that the fair value of its investment has declined below its carrying value, when is an impairment loss recognized?
- Only when the investee files for bankruptcy
- Only if the decline is deemed 'other-than-temporary'
- Immediately, whenever fair value is below book value
- Never, because the equity method ignores fair value
