    B) Unrealized Holding Gain or Loss-Income. 300,000

    Notes Receivable 300,000

    Explanation:

    December 31, 2017 realized losses:

    Dr Unrealized Holding Gain or Loss-Income 300,000 Cr Notes Receivable 300,000

    Since the carrying value of the notes receivable was $300,000 higher than their fair market value, it means that the company will lose money.

    Since the company is losing money, it should debit the Unrealized Holding Gain or Loss-Income account. Gains are credited and losses are debited.
