Answer 1

Find below the answers and explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

First we calculate the Loss or gain on each security

(Subtract the fair value from the security cost

FOR TESLA BOND

Securities Cost = $ 13,500

Fair Value = $ 10,125

Gain or Loss = $13500 - $ 10,125

= $3,375

FOR NIKE BOND

Securities Cost = $22,000

Fair Value = $23,100

Gain or Loss = $22,000 - $23,100

= −1,100

FOR FORD BOND

Securities Cost = $5,500

Fair Value = $4,400

Gain or Loss = $5,500 - $4,400

= $1,100

record the securities at fair value in the balance sheet with their respective gain or loss in profit and loss column by making these entries in the journal
