Investment in AFS securities

$190000000

9257500

(-) Discount on Bond Investments

(190 million – 169 million – 850000 – 892500)

19257500

$180000000

Explanations :-

Fair Value adjustment :-

Discount on Bond (Dr) as on 30 June =[ ($190 million * 8%) / 2] – [($169 million * 10%) / 2] = 850000

Discount on Bond (Dr) as on 31 Dec =[ ($190 million * 8%) / 2] – [($169 million+850000 * 10%) / 2] = 892500

$180 million – ($169 million + 850000 + 892500) = 9257500
