General Journal Income Statement Assignment
Bloom Corporation purchased $1,750,000 of Taylor Company 5% bonds at par with the intent and ability to hold the bonds until they matured in 2025, so Bloom classifies their investment as HTM. Unfortunately, a combination of problems at Taylor Company and in the debt market caused the fair value of the Taylor investment to decline to $1,200,000 during 2018. Consider each of the following as an independent situation 1. Bloom now believes it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the Taylor bonds before the bonds have a chance to recover their fair value. Of the $550,000 decline in fair value, Bloom attributes $325,000 to credit losses and $225,000 to noncredit losses. 2. Bloom does not plan to sell the Taylor bonds prior to maturity and does not believe it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the Taylor bonds before the bonds have a chance to recover their fair value. Of the $550,000 decline in fair value, Bloom attributes $325,000 to credit losses and $225,000 to noncredit losses. Required: (ignore income taxes.)
