0:00:00.420,0:00:01.260
- [Instructor] In this video,

0:00:01.260,0:00:02.460
I'm gonna show you how to account

0:00:02.460,0:00:04.950
for unrealized gains or losses

0:00:04.950,0:00:07.590
on available for sale debt investments.

0:00:07.590,0:00:09.570
So available for sale debt investments

0:00:09.570,0:00:12.060
are marked-to-market on the balance sheet.

0:00:12.060,0:00:14.820
So that means they're gonna[br]be presented at fair value.

0:00:14.820,0:00:17.640
So we have to make changes[br]at the end of each period

0:00:17.640,0:00:20.040
to make sure that they're at fair value.

0:00:20.040,0:00:23.220
And any unrealized gains or losses

0:00:23.220,0:00:25.890
are gonna go through other[br]comprehensive income.

0:00:25.890,0:00:27.990
They're not going to[br]go through net income,

0:00:27.990,0:00:30.030
they're not gonna show up[br]in the income statement.

0:00:30.030,0:00:32.670
No changes, no realized gains or losses

0:00:32.670,0:00:34.350
are gonna hit the income statement

0:00:34.350,0:00:36.630
unless we were to actually sell

0:00:36.630,0:00:39.270
the available for sale debt investments.

0:00:39.270,0:00:41.190
So let me walk you through an example

0:00:41.190,0:00:43.290
and kind of show you how this works.

0:00:43.290,0:00:46.560
So let's say that we had this[br]Babu's Chocolate Factory.

0:00:46.560,0:00:48.330
They issued these bonds.

0:00:48.330,0:00:53.330
And the bonds, the[br]issue price was $92,221.

0:00:53.490,0:00:55.710
And so from the investors' point of view,

0:00:55.710,0:00:57.990
they're gonna debit debt investment

0:00:57.990,0:01:01.260
and they probably call it[br]debt investment hyphen AFS,

0:01:01.260,0:01:05.370
available for sale debt[br]investment for 92,221.

0:01:05.370,0:01:08.280
They're gonna credit cash for 92,221.

0:01:08.280,0:01:10.620
And then I've got a little[br]effective interest table

0:01:10.620,0:01:12.360
that I put together here.

0:01:12.360,0:01:15.930
Now, at the end of the first year,

0:01:15.930,0:01:18.330
they're gonna need to make[br]an adjusting journal entry

0:01:18.330,0:01:20.430
because they've received interest, right?

0:01:20.430,0:01:23.400
So the investor has been[br]paid interest by Babu, right?

0:01:23.400,0:01:24.870
So you're gonna debit cash,

0:01:24.870,0:01:26.520
you're gonna debit debt investment.

0:01:26.520,0:01:28.770
You're basically amortizing[br]the discount and so forth.

0:01:28.770,0:01:30.405
We've talked about those things,

0:01:30.405,0:01:31.800
so I won't get into all that.

0:01:31.800,0:01:33.630
We have another video on it.

0:01:33.630,0:01:35.280
What I wanna introduce here

0:01:35.280,0:01:38.400
is that what if at the end of year one,

0:01:38.400,0:01:41.190
the end of year one[br]here, we say that, okay,

0:01:41.190,0:01:43.980
we look and we see that the fair value,

0:01:43.980,0:01:48.060
the fair value of the bond is now $95,000.

0:01:48.060,0:01:51.990
So the fair value of the bond is $95,000.

0:01:51.990,0:01:53.550
So you might be thinking, why,

0:01:53.550,0:01:55.440
why would the fair value be different

0:01:55.440,0:01:56.550
than the carrying value?

0:01:56.550,0:01:59.610
Because we can see at the end of year one,

0:01:59.610,0:02:04.110
we can see the carrying value[br]of the bond is at 93,521.

0:02:04.110,0:02:06.150
So why would the fair value be different?

0:02:06.150,0:02:08.700
Well, it could be the case that maybe

0:02:08.700,0:02:10.920
between when we issued the bonds

0:02:10.920,0:02:12.540
and the end of the first year,

0:02:12.540,0:02:16.080
maybe interest rates have gone down.

0:02:16.080,0:02:17.310
Interest rates have gone down.

0:02:17.310,0:02:21.330
So now our bonds are more[br]valuable relative to other bonds.

0:02:21.330,0:02:23.310
So for whatever reason, we look,

0:02:23.310,0:02:25.860
we see the fair value is now 95,000

0:02:25.860,0:02:27.900
and we see that the carrying value

0:02:27.900,0:02:30.330
is lower than the fair value, right?

0:02:30.330,0:02:32.730
So the fair value at the end of year one

0:02:32.730,0:02:34.620
is greater than the carrying value.

0:02:34.620,0:02:38.250
So we're gonna need to make[br]an adjusting journal entry.

0:02:38.250,0:02:40.680
And so it seems kinda counterintuitive,

0:02:40.680,0:02:42.450
you would think you would just debit

0:02:42.450,0:02:44.340
debt investment directly

0:02:44.340,0:02:46.950
and then just increase[br]the asset account directly

0:02:46.950,0:02:49.410
and then credit OCI, but[br]it doesn't work like that.

0:02:49.410,0:02:51.000
We could create this silly account

0:02:51.000,0:02:53.400
called fair value adjustment.

0:02:53.400,0:02:56.160
I know it just adds[br]complexity, I apologize,

0:02:56.160,0:02:58.170
but fair value adjustment

0:02:58.170,0:03:00.390
hyphen available for sale securities.

0:03:00.390,0:03:03.600
Okay, so what we're[br]gonna do, we debit this

0:03:03.600,0:03:05.280
and this is going to be added,

0:03:05.280,0:03:08.040
if we were to think[br]about our balance sheet,

0:03:08.040,0:03:09.600
if we were to look at our balance sheet,

0:03:09.600,0:03:10.563
so let me,

0:03:13.080,0:03:15.420
so here's our balance sheet

0:03:15.420,0:03:17.343
and then we've got our assets.

0:03:18.360,0:03:22.623
Okay, so we would see[br]available for sale security.

0:03:23.910,0:03:25.860
Okay, and we would have,

0:03:25.860,0:03:28.080
if we just have the carrying value,

0:03:28.080,0:03:32.040
it would be 93,521.

0:03:32.040,0:03:35.703
But then we're gonna add[br]the fair value adjustment.

0:03:36.660,0:03:40.290
We're gonna add that 1,479.

0:03:40.290,0:03:42.480
Okay, and if you add them together,

0:03:42.480,0:03:45.960
the net amount is 95,000,

0:03:45.960,0:03:48.150
which is the fair value.

0:03:48.150,0:03:50.340
Okay, so we have marked this to market.

0:03:50.340,0:03:51.450
That's what we're doing.

0:03:51.450,0:03:53.970
When we're debiting this fair[br]value adjustment account,

0:03:53.970,0:03:56.460
we are marking this to market.

0:03:56.460,0:03:59.070
Now we've got a debit, we need a credit.

0:03:59.070,0:04:02.670
So what do we credit? We[br]credit unrealized gain.

0:04:02.670,0:04:03.870
And if it had been a loss,

0:04:03.870,0:04:06.150
you know, obviously we'd be debiting a lot

0:04:06.150,0:04:08.460
and then we'd be crediting[br]the fair value adjustment.

0:04:08.460,0:04:09.450
But we have a gain here,

0:04:09.450,0:04:12.030
so we're gonna credit the unrealized gain.

0:04:12.030,0:04:16.440
But again, this is going to[br]OCI, other comprehensive income.

0:04:16.440,0:04:17.490
If you don't know what that is,

0:04:17.490,0:04:19.950
I've got another video on[br]other comprehensive income.

0:04:19.950,0:04:23.160
Basically other comprehensive[br]income is an account

0:04:23.160,0:04:24.990
that's ultimately gonna get closed out

0:04:24.990,0:04:26.940
to accumulate other comprehensive income

0:04:26.940,0:04:28.620
on the balance sheet.

0:04:28.620,0:04:31.350
But basically it increases equity.

0:04:31.350,0:04:36.350
OCI increases equity, but[br]it bypasses net income.

0:04:36.540,0:04:37.710
Bypasses net income.

0:04:37.710,0:04:41.160
If this was accounted for[br]as a trading investment,

0:04:41.160,0:04:44.190
okay, then it'd be unrealized gain,

0:04:44.190,0:04:46.260
but it'd be dash NI

0:04:46.260,0:04:49.200
because it would go to[br]net income instead of OCI.

0:04:49.200,0:04:51.690
But this is available for sales security,

0:04:51.690,0:04:54.330
so it bypasses the income statement.

0:04:54.330,0:04:56.460
Okay, so equity increases,

0:04:56.460,0:04:58.800
net income is not affected, okay?

0:04:58.800,0:05:01.500
So our journal entry balances here.

0:05:01.500,0:05:05.490
Now if and when we go and actually sell

0:05:05.490,0:05:07.650
the available for sale security,

0:05:07.650,0:05:11.010
then we could recognize a realized gain

0:05:11.010,0:05:13.770
that would go and affect[br]net income, right?

0:05:13.770,0:05:15.630
So with available for sale securities,

0:05:15.630,0:05:19.230
it's not that you will never[br]ever affect net income,

0:05:19.230,0:05:22.710
it's just that the[br]unrealized gains and losses

0:05:22.710,0:05:26.340
bypass the income statement,[br]go to this OCI account.

0:05:26.340,0:05:28.320
But then when you actually sell

0:05:28.320,0:05:30.180
the available for sale security,

0:05:30.180,0:05:32.760
then you're gonna have[br]a charge to net income

0:05:32.760,0:05:33.810
a gain or a loss.

0:05:33.810,0:05:35.100
And so that's why managers

0:05:35.100,0:05:36.570
like available for sale securities

0:05:36.570,0:05:39.000
'cause you can time when you sell

0:05:39.000,0:05:41.820
the available for sale[br]security to get a little boost

0:05:41.820,0:05:44.340
to your net income or so forth, right?

0:05:44.340,0:05:46.350
So that's called earnings management

0:05:46.350,0:05:49.250
and we'll talk about that some[br]more in the videos to come.
