the wquestion i was talking abt is this

At December 31, 2005, Hull Corp. had the following marketable equity securities that were purchased during 2005, its first year of operations:


Cost Market Unrealized gain (loss)
In Current Assets:


Security A $ 90,000 $ 60,000 $(30,000)
Security B 15,000 20,000 5,000
Totals $105,000 $ 80,000 $(25,000)

======== ======== ========
In Noncurrent Assets:


Security Y $ 70,000 $ 80,000 $ 10,000
Security Z 90,000 45,000 (45,000)
Totals $160,000 $ 125,000 $(35,000)

======== ======== ========

All market declines are considered temporary.

Variation allowances at December 31, 2005 should be established with a corresponding charge against


  Income    Stockholders' equity  
 $60,000  $0 
 $30,000  $45,000 
 $25,000  $35,000

Trading securities are normally reported as current and may be non
current if appropriate. (Becker F3(b))
The $25,000 in income is the net loss on the trading securities (gains or
losses on trading securities are always reporting in the income statement
in the current period)

The $35,000 loss (unrealized) in AFS are reported in Other comprehensive
income. Other comprehensive income are reported as a part of equity
(remember PUFE).
If you use the IDEA or the PUFE then it should help you to clarify.

If the decline is other than temporary the AFS gains/losses are reported in
the income statement.
If a security is reported in other comprehensive income, then it is more
likely to be classified as AFS (unrealized gains/losses)

Hope this helps
