On December 31, 2018: Debit Loss on available for sale security for $42,000; and Credit Available for sale investment for $42,000.

On December 31, 2019: Debit Available for sale investment $63,000; Credit Loss on available for sale security for $42,000; and Credit Gain on available for sale of securities for $21,000.

Explanation:

Since the bonds are held for trading purpose, they therefore fall under the category of available for sale investment.

The adjusting entry for December 31, 2018 and 2019 will therefore look as follows:

Date Account Title Debit ($) Credit ($)

Dec. 2018 Loss on available for sale security (w.1) 42,000

Available for sale investment 42,000

(To record change in the value of IBM bonds.)

Dec. 2019 Available for sale investment 63,000

Loss on available for sale security 42,000

Gain on available for sale of securities (w.2) 21,000

(To record gain on fair value of IBM bonds.)

Workings:

w.1: Loss on available for sale security = Purchase price - Market value on December 31, 2018 = $1,491,000 - $1,449,000 = $42,000

w.2: Gain on available for sale of securities = Market value on December 31, 2018 - Purchase price = $1,512,000 - $1,491,000 = $21,000

Note:

The loss and and for each of the years 2018 and 2019 respectively are recorded under Other Comprensive Income (OCI) in the Income Statement.

In the 10th grade, i was teamed up in a group of four. our project was on modern history. altho it seemed super hard for many of us. patrick fleming took charge and showed us the understanding of this project. his leadership showed great ethics and it taught me, personally, how to others understand, not just to show them, but explain it thoroughly. and altho he was a great teacher i would have changed a few things. one being his attitude. many times he would get frustrated and impatient with the group. i think a leader i would have done exactly what he did but with much more patience and be there more to explain. such as lunch learning. and giving everybody a chance to try to explain it in their head.
