Mumford Corporation
Journal Entries:
a) December 4:
Debit Investment in Marketable Securities $30,000
Credit Cash $30,000
To record the purchase of marketable securities.
b) December 9:
Debit Cash $10,000
Credit Investment in Marketable Securities $7,000
Credit Gain from sale of marketable securities $3,000
To record the sale of investment and the gain arising from the sale.
c) December 18:
Debit Cash $5,000
Debit Loss from sale of securities $1,000
Credit Investment in marketable securities $6,000
To record the sale of marketable securities and the arising loss.
d) December 31:
Debit Investment in Marketable Securities $3,000
Credit Unrealized Gain $3,000
To record the unrealized gain on marketable securities.
Explanation:
a) Investment in marketable securities = $30,000 on December 4
Cost of units sold on December 9 = $7,000; selling price =$10,000
Cost of units sold on December 18 = $6,000; selling price = $5,000
b) Mumford will record an unrealized gain to the value of $3,000 because the value of the marketable securities has increased but the asset is yet to be sold for cash. When the asset is eventually sold, it becomes a realized gain.
By debiting the trade receivables account and crediting the sales account, the journal entry to document such credit value of products and services is passed.
