Question

On December 29, 2022, James Company sold a debt security that had been purchased on January 4, 2021. James owned no other debt securities. An unrealized holding loss was reported in the 2021 income statement. A realized gain was reported in the 2022 income statement. Was the debt security classified as available-for-sale and did its 2021 market price decline exceed its 2022 market price recovery

Answer 1

Answer: No; No.

Step-by-step explanation:

A debt security is referred to as a debt that can be either purchased or sold in the market between the parties involved before such debt matures.

In this scenario, we should note that the debt security was not classified as available-for-sale and also the 2021 market price decline did not exceed more than the 2022 market price recovery.

Therefore, the answer is No; No
