It is to be noted that Richman Company should report Option 2) 22,104 as other comprehensive income and as a sperate component of the stockholder's equity.

1. Unrealized Holding Gain Calculation

- Original cost is $1,249,896

- Amortized premium is -$8,640

- Adjusted carrying value: $1,241,256

- Fair value $1,272,000

- Unrealized holding gain is $30,744

2. Recognition and Accumulation -

- Unrealized gain, not in net income.

- Accumulated in stockholders' equity as AOCI - $22,104

- Adjusted for prior amortization is $30,744 - $8,640 = $22,104

Thus, the comprehensive income and as a sperate component of the stockholder's equity is $22,104.

Full Question:

Although part of your question is missing, you might be referring to this full question:

Richman Company purchased $1,200,000 of 8%, 5-year bonds from Carlin, Inc. on January 1, 2018, with interest payable on July 1 and January 1. The bonds sold for $1,249,896 at an effective interest rate of 7%. Using the effective interest method, Richman Company decreased the Available-for-Sale Debt Securities account for the Carlin, Inc. bonds on July 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018 by the amortized premiums of $4,248 and $4,392, respectively.

Reference: Ref 17-4

At December 31, 2018, the fair value of the Carlin, Inc. bonds was $1,272,000. What should Richman Company report as other comprehensive income and as a separate component of stockholders' equity?
