Available-for-sale investments:
Available-for-sale investments are the investments which neither fall in the category of trading investments nor fall in the category of held-to-maturity investments.
They are recorded at fair market value. The effects of fluctuations in the prices i.e. increase or decrease in prices at the year-end are adjusted and unrealized gain or loss due to these fluctuations are transferred to other comprehensive income.
