Calculate the cash received.

Cash = (Cost ×Effective Rate of Interest)÷2($150,000 × 6%)÷2=$9,000÷2=$4,500 (1)

Calculate the interest revenue.

Interest revenue = (Cost of invesetment Discount on investment)×(Effective Rateof Interest)×(Time period)($150,000$10,658)×7100×612=$136,342×7100×612=$4,877 (2)

  (To record the loss through adjustment)    

Table (6)

  • Unrealized Holding Loss–NI is an adjustment account used to report gain or loss on adjusting cost of investment at fair market value. Since loss has occurred and losses decrease stockholders’ equity value, stockholders’ equity value is debited.
  • Fair Value Adjustment is a contra-asset account which serves the purpose of valuation allowance account. The account is adjusted to update the fair value as on June 30, 2016.
