![Blue Spruce Corporation made the following purchases of investments during 2020,

$45.60 per share plus commission of $2,694.

price of $48 per share less brokerage commissions of $3,876. The year-end fair
values per share were as follows: Nirmala $41, Oxana $75, and WTA $38. The chief
accountant of Blue Spruce tells you that Blue Spruce Corporation holds these
investments with the intention of selling them in order to earn short-term profits
from appreciation in their prices and accounts for them using the FV-NI model.
Assume that Blue Spruce Corporation follows IFRS 9. Prepare the journal entries to
