Answer & Explanation:

Wildhorse Cosmetics:

Date Account Titles Debit ($) Credit ($)

March 18, 2017 Available-for-sale securities

(120,500 x 15% x $ 13) 234,975

Cash 234,975

June 30, 2017 Cash ($ 67,900 x 15%) 10,195

Dividend revenue 10,195

December Fair value adjustment

($ 2 x 18,075) 36,150

Other comprehensive income

-unrealized gain on available-

for sale securities 36,150

Note that

Fair-value adjustment = (current share price - previous share price) x 15% of total nevins shares

= ($15 - $13) x 15% of 120,500

= $2 x 18,075 = 36,150
