Working notes:
Calculation of Purchases: We use the formula mentioned below:
Date | Number of Shares | Price per unit | Commission | Purchases |
10.03.2015 | 1200 | $25.50 | $800 | $31400 |
07.04.2015 | 2500 | $22.50 | $1033 | $57283 |
01.09.2015 | 600 | $47 | $890 | $29090 |
02.06.2016 | 1800 | $19.25 | $1050 | $35700 |
14.06.2016 | 1200 | $21 | $280 | $25480 |
28.01.2016 | 1000 | $40 | $1480 | $41480 |
03.09.2016 | 3000 | $28 | $780 | $84780 |
The Fair Value adjustment entry is as follows:
Date | Particulars | Debit($) | Credit($) |
31.12.2015 | Unrealized loss −(Equity) | 2873 | |
Fair Value adjustment-AFS(LT) | 2873 | ||
31.12.2016 | Fair Value Adjustment-AFS(LT) | 5093 | |
Unrealized Loss-Equity | 2873 | ||
Unrealized Gain-Equity | 2220 | ||
31.12.2017 | Unrealized Gain-Equity | 2220 | |
Unrealized Loss-Equity | 6260 | ||
Fair Value Adjustment −AFS(LT) | 8480 |
Calculation of cost and fair value:
Details | Cost | FV |
A | $31400 | 33000(1200*$27.50) |
F | 57283 | 52500(2500*$21) |
P | 29090 | 29400(600*$49) |
Total | 117773 | 114900 |
FV Adjustment = Cost- Value
Calculation of cost and fair value:
Details | Cost | FV |
A | 31400 | 34800(1200*$29) |
D | 35700 | 32400(1800*$18) |
S | 25480 | 27600(1200*$23) |
Total | 92580 | 94800 |
Calculation of cost and fair value:
C | 41480 | 48000(1000*$48) |
M | 84780 | 72000(3000*$24) |
Total | 126260 | 120000 |
FV Adjustment = Cost- Value
Calculation of required balance:
FV adjustment= Required balance+ unadjusted balance

31.10.2016 | Cash | 26102 | |
Gain on sale of investments | 9598 | ||
Long term investment-E Company | 35700 | ||
Calculation of Sales received from shares:
We use the formula mentioned below:
Date | Number of Shares | Price/unit | Commission | Sales |
15.04.2016 | 2500 | $20.50 | $1207 | $50043 |
22.08.2016 | 1200 | $21.50 | $1850 | $23950 |
09.10.2016 | 1200 | $24 | $599 | $28201 |
31.10.2016 | 1800 | $15 | $898 | $26102 |
2. The following table summarizes cost; fair value adjustment and fair value of portfolio on long term AFS at the end of given three years:
Particulars | 31.12.2015 ($) | 31.12.2016($) | 31.12.2017($) |
Long term AFS securities (Cost) | 117773 | 92580 | 126260 |
Less: Fair Value adjustment | (2873) | 2220 | (6260) |
Long term AFS securities (Fair Value) | 114900 | 94800 | 120000 |
3. Statement showing realized and unrealized gains or loss at the end of given three years:
Particulars | 2015($) | 2016($) | 2017($) |
Realized Gains(Losses) | |||
Sales of F Shares | (7240) | ||
Sale of P shares | 665 | ||
Sale of D shares | (9598) | ||
Sale of A Shares | (7450) | ||
Sale of S shares | 2721 | ||
Total realized Gain(Loss) | 0 | (6575) | 14327 |
Unrealized gain(Loss) | (2873) | 2220 | (6260) |
The unrealized gain is equal to the fair value adjustment.
