Concept Introduction:

Fair value of Securities:

If the cost of purchase is higher than the fair value of the investment at the time of revaluation, then the difference is debited to the fair value adjustments account.

If the cost of purchase is lower than the fair valueof the investment at the time of revaluation, then the difference is debited to the fair value adjustments account.

Assets and Expenses have debit balances and must be debited in order to increase their balance and credited in order to decrease their balance. Examples − Bonds and Notes of other companies, Cash, Loss on sale of Investments

Liabilities and Incomes have credit balances and must be debited in order to decrease their balance and credited in order to increase their balance.Examples − Gain on sale of Investments

When an investment is made, it must be revalued at the end of the year to determine if it is in line with the fair value or the realizable value.

Such a revaluation seeks to eliminate the difference between the cost of purchase and the realizable value of the investment at the end of the year.

If the cost of purchase is higher than the fair value, then the difference is debited to the fair value adjustments account.

If the cost of purchase is lower than the fair value, then the difference is debited to the fair value adjustments account.

Explanation of Solution

When an investment is made, it must be revalued at the end of the year to determine if it is in line with the fair value or the realizable value.

Such a revaluation seeks to eliminate the difference between the cost of purchase and the realizable value of the investment at the end of the year.

If the cost of purchase is lower than the fair value, then the difference is debited to the fair value adjustments account.

In the above table, Total Fair Value Adjustments is calculated as the Total Value of Portfolio available for Sale less the total cost of purchase and appropriate debit or credit is made to the Fair value adjustments account at the end of the year in order to correctly reflect the value in the financial statements.

Hence the table showing details of total cost of purchase, total fair value adjustments and total available value of securities at the end of each year is prepared.

Explanation of Solution

When an investment is made, it must be revalued at the end of the year to determine if it is in line with the fair value or the realizable value.

Such a revaluation seeks to eliminate the difference between the cost of purchase and the realizable value of the investment at the end of the year.

If the cost of purchase is higher than the fair value and the investment is not sold at the end of the year, then the difference is an unrealized loss.

If the cost of purchase is lower than the fair value,and the investment is not sold at the end of the year then the difference is an unrealized gain.

In the above table, TotalUnrealized Gain / (Losses) is calculated as the Total Value of Portfolio available for Sale less the total cost of purchase and appropriate debit or credit is made to the Fair value adjustments account at the end of the year in order to correctly reflect the value in the financial statements.

The Realized Gain / (Losses) are calculated as the difference between the sale price and the total cost of purchase and appropriate debit or credit is made to the Gain / Loss on sale of adjustments account to correctly record the value in the financial statements.

Hence the Table showing details of total cost of purchase, Unrealized Gain / (Losses), Realized Gain / (Losses) and Total Value of Portfolio available for Sale is prepared.
