Q

Available for Sale adjusting entries using a valuation account

A

Market adjustment is a valuation account for the balance sheet. It goes directly to stockholder’s equity as an item of OCI. Income statement not affected.

If securities increase in value (in aggregate) by 12,000:
DR Market Adjustment 12,000
CR Unrealized holding gain/loss–OCI 12,000

If securities then decrease to 4,000 below original cost:
DR Unrealized holding gain/loss–OCI 16,000
CR Market Adjustment 16,000

Last period we set up our market adjustment account at 12,000 (DR). To bring it to a 4,000 CR balance, we need to CR the account 16,000. Think of the T-account

Market Adjustment
DR 12,000
CR 16,000
Ending Balance CR 4,000
