21、ecognized as a provision for impairment of current investments. Provision for impairment of current investments is made on an individual item basis/on group basis/for overall current investments as a whole. If the value of a current investment is significant (that is, it accounts for 10% or more of

22、total current investments), the provision for impairment loss on this current investment should be determined and recognized separately.9.

For those receivables greater than RMB _ or distinct from others in collectibility due to various re

27、asons, such as the specific location of debtors, the financial and operating status of the debtors, the disputes with the debtors etc., if the same policy of provisions for bad debts were applied to them and to the other receivables, their recoverable amount may be distorted. Thus, specific identifi

28、cation is more appropriate for them. That is, a detailed analysis, based on the operating results, cash flow status and credit records of previous years of the debtors, is made of the collectibility of each of those receivables, then a rate of provision is determined specifically for each item of th

35、ir individual costs.)(对于采用售价金额法核算的商品流通企业，可以表述如下：The commodities in stock of the Company are valued at their selling price. At the end of each month, the “purchase-sales difference” (that is, the difference between selling price and acquisition cost) allocable to commodities sold in that month is det

36、ermined, on the basis of which the cost of sales for that month is adjusted to the actual amount.)(4) Amortization of low cost and short-lived articles and packages Method (“half-half amortization”/ “one-off writing off”) is adopted in amortization of low cost and short-lived articles Method is adop

For miscellaneous

40、 and low cost items, the provision is made on a category by category basis.Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.12. Long-term investments(1) The valuation of lo

47、vestments should first be offset against the balance of that arising from the original investment (including capital surplus items arising therefrom), the excess of equity investment differences arising from additional investments over that arising from original investment is treated in the same manner as described above.(3) The valuation of long-term investments in bonds and recognition of income thereonThe long-term investments in bonds are recorded at the total price paid on acquisition (including/excluding incidental expenses such as taxes and handling charges), less unpaid
