• Investments are the assets. Purchases of investments increase the assets value. Thus, investments are debited with $747,968.
• Cash is a current asset. Purchase of bonds decreases the cash balance. Thus, cash is credited with $747,968.

Interest revenue on June 30:

• Cash is a current asset. Interest revenue increases the cash balance. Thus, cash is debited with $32,000.
• Investments are the assets. Market rate is more than the stated interest rate. It increases the investments value. Thus, investments are debited with $1,659.
• Interest revenue is a component of the owners’ equity. It increases the owners’ equity. Thus, interest revenue is credited with $33,659.

Interest revenue on December 31:

• Cash is a current asset. Interest revenue increases the cash balance. Thus, cash is debited with $32,000.

Table (3)

Explanation of Solution

Investment: It refers to the process of using the currently held excess cash to earn profitable returns in future. The investments can be made in equity securities such as shares or debt securities such as bonds.

To record the adjusted fair value of investments:

• Unrealized holding loss is a component of the stockholders’ equity (net income). It decreases the net income by $1,360. Thus, it is debited with $1,360
• Investments are the assets. The value of investments is decreased by $1,360 due to the change in fair value. Thus, investments are credited with $1,360.

Working notes:

Compute the unrealized holding loss – Other Comprehensive income.

Particulars	Amount $
Investments (book value)	751,360
Less: Fair value of the investments	750,000
Unrealized holding loss- Other Comprehensive income	$1,360
