-- 2018 year-end adjustment--

Explanation:

gordon 77,600 - 73,200 =    (4,100)

wallace 172,900 - 167,700 = 5,200

martin 63,500 - 65,100 =    (1,600)  

         Total adjustment           (500)

We will declare as other comprehensive incoem the unrealized loss of 500 dollar for the period

At sale date we compare the proceeds and the cost to check for the earning or losses:

1,500 shares x $45 each less 1,200 fees = 66,300

                        gordon shares book value (73,200)

                       loss on investment                 6,900

Earnhart corp:

700 shares x $75 each plus 1,300 fees: 53,800

year-end adjusting 2018

earnhart 50,100 - 53,800 = (3,700)

wallace 61,700 - 65,100 =    (3,400)

martin   167,700 - 167,700 =         0

unrealized loss                    (7,1 00)
