2.

Amount $ 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Fair-value adjustment of $0 to ($26,000):

Fair Value Adjustment

Balance on 1/1/2021 $0

± Adjustment needed to update fair value?

Balance needed on 12/31/2021 ($21,000 − $47,000) = ($26,000)

Fair-Value Adjustment

1/1/2021 $0

Change needed $26,000

12/31/2021 $26,000

2.No amounts would be reported in the income statement at December 31, 2021 because the accumulated net holding gains and losses are reported as a component of shareholders' equity while changes in the balance are reported as other comprehensive income in the statement of comprehensive income rather than as part of earnings.
