Answer:

Date Account Title Debit Credit

Sept. 15 Investment in Available For Sale $8,900

Security

Cash $8,900

Cash will be credited to recognize that it reduced on account of it being used to pay for the investment. The investment will be treated as an asset so it will be debited to recognize that it is an increase.
