You are an accountant for Davanzo Company. The president of the company calls you into her office and says, “I want to ask you about two issues. First, we need to sell one of our investments to raise $1 million because I think I have found a better investment. We could sell the bonds of Company X, which are currently worth $1 million even though they have an amortized cost basis of $950,000. But I don’t want to sell them because I like the steady stream of cash flow we get related to interest. Or we could sell the bonds in that dog, Company Z.
