Explanation of Solution

a. No. of shares = 200

Acquisition Cost = $12,800

Acquisition Cost per share = $12,800200 = $64

b. No. of shares = 200

Dividend per share = $1.60

Total Dividend received = 200×$1.60 = $320

c. No. of shares sold = 40

Selling Price per share = $61

Selling Price for 40 shares = 40×$61 = $2,440

Acquisition Cost per share = $64

Acquisition Cost of 40 shares = 40×$64 = $2,560

Loss on Sale of Investment = Acquisition Cost of 40 shares - Selling Price for 40 shares

Loss on Sale of Investment = $2,560 - $2,440 = $120

d. No. of shares = 380

Acquisition Cost = $20,900

Acquisition Cost per share = $20,900380 = $55

e. No. of shares = 380

Dividend per share = $1

Total Dividend received = 380×$1 = $380.

Answer to Problem 27E

The Fair Value of portfolio on December 31 would be $32,020.

Explanation of Solution

Company No. of Shares Market Value Per Share Fair Value (Market Value)
B 160 $60 160×$60 = $9,600
N 380 $59 380×$59 = $22,420
Total 540 $32,020

200 shares of ‘B’ stock were purchased, although (later) 40 were sold.

Currently, the company holds 160 shares (i.e. 200 shares − 40 shares).

B $10,240 $9,600 (640)
N $20,900 $22,420 $1,520
Total $31,140 $32,020 880

Net Investments in ‘B’ is 160 shares.

Answer to Problem 27E

‘Unrealized Gain on Trading Securities’ of $880 will increase the net income at the end of the year.

Explanation of Solution

Securities Acquisition Cost (1) Fair Value at Dec 31, 2020 (2) Difference [(2) − (1)]
B $10,240 $9,600 (640)
N $20,900 $22,420 $1,520
Total $31,140 $32,020 880

Total Dividend Income = $320 + $380 = $700

  1. The change in total value of trading securities and available for sale securities is calculated.
  2. If the Fair Value is more than Acquisition Cost then the increase in value is shown as ‘Unrealized Gain on Trading Securities’ or ‘Unrealized Gain on Available for Sale Securities’.
  3. If the Fair Value is less than Acquisition Cost then the decrease in value is shown as ‘Unrealized Loss on Trading Securities’ or ‘Unrealized Loss on available for sale securities’.
  4. ‘Unrealized Gain’ on both is added in book value of investment on the balance sheet so that it results in the fair market value of the investment whereas ‘Unrealized Loss’ is deducted from the book value of investment.
  5. ‘Unrealized Gain on Trading Securities’ or ‘Unrealized Loss on Trading Securities’ is shown on the Income Statement under the head ‘Other Income’ or ‘Other Loss’, respectively.
  6. ‘Unrealized Gain on Available for Sale Securities’ or ‘Unrealized Loss on Available for Sale Securities’ is shown as part of ‘Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income’ in the stockholders’ equity as separate head. It doesn’t affect the Income Statement, instead affects the stockholders’ equity.
