Answer: An unrealized gain, $1,500

Explanation: An unrealized gain is a gain that would result from an uncompleted trade, should it be closed. In this question, the value of the securities have gone up to $100,000 but the securities have not been sold yet. The unrealized gain, due to increase in value is $20,000 ($100,000 - $80,000).

However, there is a debit balance of $18,500 in the valuation allowance account. This account is used to offset any asset on which a deferred tax is to be paid, in this case our incomplete trade. The amount therefore has to be subtracted from the unrealized gain, leaving Bargain Company with $1,500 gain ($20,000 - $18,500).

An unrealized loss stems from a decline in value on a transaction that has not been completed yet. The entity or investor would not incur the loss unless they chose to close the deal or transaction while it is still in this state. For instance, while the shares in the above example remain unsold, the loss has not taken effect. It is only after the assets are transferred does that loss become substantiated. Waiting for the investment to recoup those declines could result in the unrealized loss being erased, or becoming a profit.

Jada converted her personal residence to rental property in 2018. She purchased the property in 2014 for $110,000, of which $10,
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

a)Jada's basis for depreciation in the property is NIL.

b) Personal property that has no intrinsic value is called 'INTANGIBLE PROPERTY'.

Explanation:

Due to a decline in the property values over the past few years Jada has converted her personal residence to rental property and/or investment property which is a subject dealt within IAS 40 (Investment property).

According to IAS 40 an investment property is land or building held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both rather than use in the entity. IAS 40 requires to initially measure investment property at cost and subsequently may either measure at cost or fair value model. Fair value is normally established by prevailing market prices.

IAS 40 also mentions that if an asset is revalued to fair value the gain and loss should be recorded in statement of profit and loss and 'NO DEPRECIATION IS CHARGED ON THE ASSET AFTER THE FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT'.

Therefore, following the instructions laid out by IAS 40 Jada's basis for depreciation in the property is NIL.

2) Personal property with no intrinsic value:

Personal property that has no intrinsic value is called 'INTANGIBLE PROPERTY'.

Lets first understand what intrinsic value is. Intrinsic value of an asset refers to the market led and/or market-driven price of that asset. This means those assets which don't have an active market for sale and purchase will have no intrinsic value. This is absolutely the case with intangible assets, because most intangible assets are unique and uncommon, such as, GOODWILL, PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS, therefore due to the uniqueness and exclusivity of such assets an active market place doesn't exist therefore it's hard to determine an intrinsic value for such kind of assets/ properties.
