Problem 14–23 (continued)
Appling’s 2018 statement of comprehensive income will include the interest
expense for all four quarters as well as the gains and losses (OCI) from adjusting to
fair value:
Interest expense, 1st quarter $ 8,284
Interest expense, 2nd quarter 8,284
We are ignoring income tax in this problem, but note that gains–OCI and
losses–OCI are reported in the statement of comprehensive income net of tax.
The same result can be reached by comparing fair values at the beginning and
end of the year and including semiannual interest amounts rather than
quarter-by-quarter:
January 1 book value $331,364
