Answer b:

If the bond portfolio is classified as available for sale, impact this would have on financial statement disclosure is as follows:

If the bonds are classified as available-for-sale securities, then the portfolio of bonds would need to be to be adjusted to fair value.This would be accomplished by using a valuation allowance account and an unrealized gain (loss) account as part of other Other comprehensive income.

If the fair value were greater than the cost of the bond portfolio, the two accounts would be positive, and thus added to investments and stockholders’ equity, respectively.

If the fair value were lesser than the cost of the bond portfolio, the two accounts would be negative , and thus subtracted from investments and stockholders’ equity, respectively.
