    d. Reversing total accumulated unrealized holding gains of $11 milion

    Explanation:

    First, the company will do a gain for the different between the 68 millon at the end of 2021 and the 86 million sale price.

    86,000,000 - 68,000,000 = 18,000,000

    The second step is to reverse the accumulated gain:

    18,000,000 from 2021

    and 7,000,000 loss from 2020 (off-set by the 2021 gain)

    total accumulated 11,000,000
