    Dr. Unrealized Loss $2,500

    Cr. Investment in trading security $2,500

    Explanation:

    Trading Investment Bonds are recorded as assets and these are reported at fair value. Any gain or loss arising from the fair value adjustment will be recorded. Fair value adjustment should be made at end of each reporting period and when a significant difference arose. Gain from the fair value adjustment will increase the value of Investment in trading security and loss will decrease the value.

    Unrealized gain = Current Book value of Investment - Fair value

    Unrealized gain = $55,000 - $52,500

    Unrealized gain = $2,500
