Answer and Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Unrealized Loss - Income ($3,000 - $2,800) $200

To Fair value adjustment - trading $200

(being the adjustment to fair value for trading securities is recorded)

Here the unrealized loss would be debited and the fair value adjustment would be credited
