To determine

IFRS: International Financial Reporting Standard is abbreviated as IFRS. The IFRS is set up to bring a standard global language in accounting, so that the other firms across the globe can understand the accounting term of all other businesses.

Investment: The act of allocating money to buy a monetary asset, in order to generate wealth in the future is referred to as investment.

Other-than-temporary (OTT) impairment: When the market value of an investment declines to a value lower than its cost, it is referred to as OTT impairment.

Fair value: Fair value is the price at which, both seller and buyer agree to exchange the asset. So, fair value is the selling price to the seller and the purchase price for the buyer.

Net income: Net income is the excess amount of revenue which is arises after deducting all the expenses of a company.  In simply, it is the difference between total revenue and total expenses of the company.

Other Comprehensive income: OCI includes all financial items which result in changes in the stockholders’ equity, other than stock investments and dividends.

To Journalize:  The entries to account for fair value changes during 2016 and 2017, as per the IAS No. 39 for Other-than-temporary Impairments.

Date Account Titles and Explanation Post Ref. Debit ($) Credit ($)
12.31.16 OTT Impairment Loss–I/S   240,000
            Investment in Company B Bonds   240,000
(To record credit losses of impairment loss of investment)

2017:

Date Account Titles and Explanation Post Ref. Debit ($) Credit ($)
12.31.17 Investment in Company B Bonds   100,000
       Recovery of OTT Impairment Loss – I/S     100,000
(To record recovery of impairment loss of investment)

Table (2)

Note: According to IFRS Number: 39 recoveries of OTT impairments for debt investments alone are recognized as earnings.

Company B $240,000 $140,000 = $100,000

Table (3)

Existing balance in fair value adjustment 200,000
Increase (decrease) needed in fair value adjustment $(100,000)

Table (5)

Note: With a prior positive balance of $200,000, and to maintain a negative balance of $300,000 in 2016, a negative balance of $100,000 is assumed as decrease needed in fair value adjustment.

2017:

12.31.17 Fair Value Adjustment   500,000
         Net Unrealized Holding Gains  and Losses–I/S     500,000

Existing balance in fair value adjustment 300,000
Increase (decrease) needed in fair value adjustment $500,000

Table (7)

Note: With a negative balance of $300,000 in 2016, and to maintain a positive balance of $200,000 in 2017, a negative balance of $500,000 is assumed as decrease needed in fair value adjustment.
