Amigo · Answer 1

investment on debt securities 945,000

Explanation:

purchase for 910,000 the bond + interest accrued

1,000,000 x 0.08 / 2 = 40,000 interest revenue

910,000 - 40,000 = 870,000 investment on bonds

At year-end we should adjsut the bond to the market value:

945,000 - 870,000 = 75,000

investment in debt securities 75,000

unrealized gain on securities 75,000

Balance sheet:

investment on debt securities 945,000
