Answer #1

Short-term investments are marked to market, and any declines or increases in value are recognized as a loss or profit.


Available for sale long-term investments are recorded at cost when purchased and subsequently adjusted to reflect their fair values at the end of the reporting period. Unrealized holding gains or losses are kept as "other comprehensive income" until the long-term investment has been sold.

1. Unrealised loss on Bond 111000

to Bond (Blair) A/c 111000

2. Bond (ANC) A/c 42000
to Unrealised Profit on Bond 42000

3. Bond (Drake) A/c 68000

to Unrealised Gain (Other Comprehensive Income) 68000

4. Unrealised Loss (Other Comprehensive Income) 36000

to Bond (Aaron) 36000
