    A.) Net income = $ (30); Comprehensive income = $ (10).

    Explanation:

    First, the multiple choices to the question

    A.) Net income = $ (30); Comprehensive income = $ (10).

    B.) Net income = $ (30); Comprehensive income = $20.

    C.) Net income = $0; Comprehensive income = $ (10).

    D.) Net income = $ (10); Comprehensive income = $20.

    The question is to determine the effect of the two events listed on the Net Income as well as the comprehensive income

    First, we look at event one:

    The loss of sales of investment = #30

    The effect of this is to debit the income statement because it is a net loss of $30. It brings a reduction to the income side. Income will usually have a credit balance, but a net loss reduces income therefore, it will be debited.

    Second, the Unrealized gain on investment from increase in fair value = $20

    The effect is $10 which represents $30 from the loss - $20 from the unrealised gain. It will however, also decrease the comprehensive income by the $10.
