On December 31, 2017:

Debit: Fair value adjustment - loss = $4,400

Credit: Securities available for sale = $4,400

On April 6, 2018

Debit: Cash account $26,000

Debit: Loss on sale of securities $3,800

Credit: Securities available for sale $29,800

Explanation:

On December 31, 2017:

Compare the cost/carrying value of the securities with its fair value on the reporting date.

Debit: Fair value adjustment - loss = $4,400

Credit: Securities available for sale = $4,400

Working of loss:

Cost = $64,000

Fair value of security = $59,600

Since, fair value of security is less, therefore, it is a loss:

Amount of loss = $64,000 - $59,600

Amount of loss = $4,400

On sale of securities: April 6, 2018

Comparing the sale of securities with its fair value at the date of sale: on April 6, 2018.

Since sold half of the securities only:

Debit: Cash account $26,000

Debit: Loss on sale of securities $3,800

Credit: Securities available for sale $29,800

Working:

Half of the investment fair value = $59,600/2 = $29,800
