The stocks were purchased at $32.40 each, and now they are worth $31, which results in an unrealized loss of $1.40 per stock x 10 million stocks.
Under the fair value method, a company's reported net income does not affect the carrying value of the investment account, neither does any difference in the market value of the company's assets.
