Brief Exercise 12–15
Because the drop in the market price of stock is considered to be other-than-
temporary, LED records the impairment of $450,000 ($4.50 x 100,000 shares) and
reclassifies previously recognized unrealized losses of $100,000 ($1.00 x 100,000
shares) as follows:
12–22 Intermediate Accounting, 8/e
Brief Exercise 12–16
LED believes it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the investment
before fair value recovers, so the portion of the impairment that consists of credit
and noncredit losses is not relevant. LED must recognize the entire OTT
impairment in earnings, reducing the carrying value of the LED bonds by crediting
a discount on bond investment account. LED records the impairment of $450,000
and reclassifies previously recognized unrealized losses of $100,000 as follows:
Other-than-temporary impairment loss—I/S ….. 450,000
Brief Exercise 12–17
LED does not intend to sell the investment, and it does not believe it is more
likely than not that it will have to sell the investment before fair value recovers, so
the portion of the impairment that consists of credit and noncredit losses is
