    Dr Valuation Allowance for Available-for-Sale Investments $6890

    Cr unrealized gain / (loss) on AFS investments $6890

    Explanation:

    The unrealized gain or loss on the available-for-sale securities is the difference between its cost of $252,000 and the fair value of $258,890 on 31st December.

    Gain / (loss) = $258,890-$252,000=$6890 unrealized gain

    The amount would be credited to unrealized gain / (loss) on AFS investments while Valuation Allowance for Available-for-Sale Investments would be debited with the same amount
