Answer 1

Answer)

5% Bonds - Since amortization cost method is followed in valuation of Bond, it is to be valued at 250,000. No, profit or loss on such bonds.

Interest income = 5% of 250,000

= $12500

Total Income in P&L from 5% Bonds = $12,,500

Shares (FVPL) -

Dividend Income = $ 15,000

unrealised gain = 93,000 - 85000

= $ 8,000

Total income from shares (FVPL) = 15,000 + 8,000

= 23,000

Shares (FVOCI)-

Gain or loss on FVOCI is tranfered to reserves through OCI account. so this not affect Profit and loss? Income staemnet in any condition.

Income from investments = $ 12,500 + 23,000

= $ 35,500
