Case 3<br />
You have been hired as a consultant for ABC Investment Group. ABC incorporated in 1999 and manages investment<br />
portfolios for small to medium size companies. The Director of the company is not up to speed on how unrealized gains<br />
and losses as well as realized gains and losses on bonds should be accounted for. The Director has been told that<br />
under certain conditions unrealized gains and losses can be accounted for in the income statement and accounted for<br />
as part of other comprehensive income under other conditions. The Director is also unclear as to how to determine<br />
whether a security is impaired and how to determine the amount that is required to be written down. You have been<br />
asked to look into these issues and determine the proper accounting treatment for bonds.<br />
