1 | When the investments held as trading securities, then any gain or loss due to change in Fair value reported as gain or loss in the income statement |
Colt Company bonds | |
Purchase price = $38,000 | |
Fair Value as on 31st Dec 2019 = $37000 | |
As Fair value is less than the purchase price, therfore the loss of $ 1000 ($38000-$37000) reported as loss on securities in 2019 income statement | |
Dana Company bonds | |
Purchase price = $14,000 | |
Fair Value as on 31st Dec 2019 = $14,200 | |
As Fair value is more than the purchase price, therfore the gain of $ 200 ($14200-$14,000) reported as gain on securities in 2019 income statement | |
2 | In 2020, when the securities held as trading are sold |
At the time of sale, the difference between the sale value and fair value reported as gain or loss on sales of securities in income statement | |
Colt Company bonds | |
Selling price = $42,000 | |
Fair Value as on 31st Dec 2019 = $37000 | |
As Fair value is less than the selling price, therfore there is gain of $ 5000 ($42000-$37000) reported as gain on securities in 2020 income statement | |
Dana Company bonds | |
Selling price = $13,000 | |
Fair Value as on 31st Dec 2019 = $14,200 | |
As Fair value is more than the Selling price, therfore there is loss of $ 1200 ($14200-$13,000) reported as loss on sale of securities in 2020 income statement | |
3 | If securities held as avaiiable for sale, then any change in fair market value till the time the securities are sold are routed through equity as other comprehensive income. Then at the time of sale all the gain or loss routed through income statement |
So, in this case no amount of gain or loss that arise due to change in Fair value reported in income statement | |
4 | At the time of sale |
Colt Company bonds | |
Selling price = $ 42000 | |
Fair Value = $ 37,000 | |
Gain on sale = $42,000 - $37,000 | |
Gain on sale (A) = $5,000 | |
Loss in 2019 due to the change in fair value, reported as other comprehensive income in equity also moved to income statement in 2020 | |
Loss = Fair value - Purchase price | |
Loss = 37,000 - 38,000 | |
Loss (B) = 1,000 | |
Net Gain (A- B) in 2020 = 5000-1000 | |
Net Gain (A- B) in 2020 = 4000 | |
Dana Company bonds | |
Selling price = $ 13,000 | |
Fair Value = $ 14,200 | |
Loss on sale = $13,000 - $14,200 | |
Loss on sale (A) = $1,200 | |
Gain in 2019 due to the change in fair value, reported as other comprehensive income in equity also moved to income statement in 2020 | |
Gain = Fair value - Purchase price | |
Gain = 14,200 - 14,000 | |
Gain (B) = 200 | |
Net loss (A- B) in 2020 = 1200-200 | |
Net loss (A- B) in 2020 = 1000 |
