Because this is profit, it is treated as Unrealized gains and is Credited in the Equity section under Comprehensive income.

You however only record the gains or losses and not the whole amount because the investment is recorded at Fair Value as an asset.

Therefore in this scenario, the gain is $20,000-$16000 which is $4000. That is what is recorded as an Unrealized gain.

By the end of the year, the gain on the investment had increased to $20,000 (= $100,000 - $80,000), so you need to recognize an additional gain of $1,500 (= $20,000 - $18,500).
