Answer:
Net income in year 2021 = $0
Net income in year 2022 = $6,000
Explanation:
Given:
Purchased bonds(2021) = $860,000
Sold bonds (2022) = $866,000
Fair market value = $858,500
Computation:
A. Net income in 2021
The fair market value of the bond is less than the purchase price of the bond, that is why we can say that no profit has been received in the year 2021
Net income = $0
B. Net income in 2022
Net income = Sold bonds - Purchased bonds
Net income = $866,000 - $860,000
Net income = $6,000
Because these bonds are classified as trading securities they must be treated as follows:
Pretax Amount
2021 Loss ($1,500) Unrealized but recorded in NI
2022 Gain $7,500 Once sold gains go to Balance Sheet
