The amount at which Incorporation JI will report its investment in the December 31 balance sheet and the reason behind it.
4.

Explanation of Solution
Incorporation JI will report its investment at its amortized cost (book value) of $152,820
As held-to-maturity securities will not be sold until its maturity, it is irrelevant that whether there is an increase or decrease in the fair value of the securities between the time of acquiring a debt security, and the day of its maturity. Hence, it is for this reason, Incorporation JI reports its held-to-maturity securities at an amortized cost in its balance sheet rather than recording them at a fair value.
