(c) Dear Ms. Kretsinger:
Investments which are classified as trading (held for sale in the near
term) are reported at fair value in the balance sheet, with unrealized
stockholders’ equity section.
Fair value is used as a reporting basis because it represents the cash
realizable value of the securities. Unrealized gains or losses on trading
investments are reported in the income statement because of the like-
reported directly in stockholders’ equity.
I hope that the preceding discussion clears up any misunderstandings.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Student
