Problem BackgroundProblem Background
The carrying value of trading securities as a portfolio is adjusted to market value by using an account titled ”Market Adjustment—Trading Securities.”
This market adjustment account will have a debit balance if the total market value of trading securities exceeds their total cost as of a balance sheet date. Likewise, this market adjustment account will have a credit balance if the total cost of trading securities exceeds their combined value as of a balance sheet date.
Any unrealized gains or unrealized losses on trading securities is reported on the income statement under “Other Gains” or “Other Losses.”

Any accrued interest on bonds purchased between interest dates has already been added to the transaction price. When the purchaser is using the revenue approach to record the transaction, the Interest Revenue account is debited for the amount of the accrued interest.
At the date when the interest payment is received on the bonds (payment will represent 6 months’ worth of interest), this payment is credited to the Interest Revenue account.
The net effect of the two entries described above allows the purchaser of the bonds to reflect the proper amount in the Interest Revenue account.
