EW 19: Choice among some spreading methods

You could also call this:

“Choosing how to spread income from financial arrangements”

If you’re not required to use a method under section EW 15B, you have some choices for how to handle a financial arrangement. You can pick from these methods:

  1. The yield to maturity method
  2. An alternative method
  3. The straight-line method
  4. A market valuation method

You can choose any of these methods as long as you’re able to use it for your specific financial arrangement. It’s up to you to decide which one works best for your situation.
