The Mann investment is classified as held-to-maturity, while the remaining securities are classified as available-for-sale. Ott does not elect the fair value option for reporting financial assets. Ott's December 31, Year 1, balance sheet should report total marketable debt securities as:_____.
a. $29,000.
b. $26,000.
c. $30,000.
d. $28,000.

Answer 1

c. $30,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of the total marketable debt securities reported in the balance sheet is given below;

= Mann Co cost + Kemo Co fair value + Fenn corp fair value

= $10,000 + $11,000 + $9,000

= $30,000

Hence, the total marketable debt securities reported in the balance sheet is $30,000

Therefore the option c is correct
