Explanation / Answer

(a)   The portfolio should be reported at the fair value of $106,275. Since the cost of the portfolio is $103,350, the unrealized holding gain is $2,925, of which $780 is already recognized. Therefore, the December 31, 2017 adjusting entry should be:

        Fair Value Adjustment

            (available-for-sale)........................................................      2,145

                Unrealized Holding Gain or Loss—Equity..........                       2,145

(b)   The unrealized holding gain of $2,925 (including the previous balance of $780) should be reported as an addition to stockholders’ equity and the Fair Value Adjustment (available-for-sale) account balance of $2,925 should be added to the cost of the investment account.
