Investment in foreign branches, subsidiaries, and other asscciates should be accounted for on an equity or cost basis only.

Long-term investment.- Include as long-term, all items intended or likely to remain outstanding for more than one year from the date incurred. If both receipt and payment transactions with a particular country occurred during the
