Concept explainers
Victoria Company has investments in marketable securities classified as trading and available-for-sale. At the beginning of the year, the aggregate market value of each portfolio exceeded its amortized cost. During the year, Victoria sold some securities from each portfolio. At the end of the year, the aggregate amortized cost of each portfolio exceeded its market value.
Victoria also has investments in bonds classified as held-to-maturity, all of which were purchased for face value. During the year, some of these bonds held by Victoria were called prior to their maturity by the bond issuer. Three months before the end of the year, additional similar bonds were purchased for face value plus 2 months’ accrued interest.
Required:
- 1. Explain how Victoria accounts for:
- a. sale of securities from each portfolio
- b. each equity securities portfolio at year-end
- 2. Explain how Victoria accounts for the disposition prior to their maturity of the long-term bonds called by their issuer.

What will the company report for the bonds in its income statement for the year?arrow_forwardKasey Hartman is the controller for Wholemart Company, which has numerous long-term investments in debt securities. Wholemart’s investments are mainly in five-year bonds. Hartman is preparing its year-end financial statements. In accounting for long-term debt securities, she knows that each long-term investment must be designated as a held-to-maturity or an available-for-sale security.

However, the interest rate is capped at the interest rate 10%. The bond is one of the bonds owned by the entity in a bond portfolio. The entity actively manages the returns on the portfolio.
