Answer:
A. Unrealized Holding Loss - Trading 3,400
Fair Value Adjustment - Trading 3,400
Explanation:
Since this investment is classified as a trading investment, any change in its fair market value must be included in their income statement. The appropriate journal entry should be:
Dr Unrealized loss on trading security 3,400
Cr Debt investments 3,400
This will decrease the carrying value of the debt investments in the balance sheet and the loss will be included in the 2019 income statement. The fair value adjustment account normally has a credit balance since it decreases the carrying value of the investment account.
