Explanation of Solution

Situation 1:

Situation 2:

In this situation, the securities will be shown depending on a company’s intent, either the current asset or the long-term asset section of the balance sheet at a value of $52,000. The write-up will be balanced with a $2,000 unrealized gain that will go directly to equity, as part of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Situation 3:

In this situation, the securities will be shown at their cost of $50,000 in the long-term asset section of the balance sheet (except the debt securities are maturing in the next year, in which case they would be reported under the current assets).
