Amorized cost model applies only to investments in debt instruments and long-term notes and loans receivable. Cost model may be applied to investments in equity instruments (shares) of other companies. Investments in shares of other eniies: recognize the cost of the investment at the fair value of the shares acquired. The discount or premium on a bond investment is not usually recognized and reported separately, although it would be correct.
