Answer: $27,864

Explanation:

The amount that should be recorded as other comprehensive income is the fair value less the sales price and the amortized premiums to reflect the true value of the investment,

= 1,164,000 - 1,129,896 - 3,048 - 3,192

= $27,864

$27,864 is the amount Crane Company should report as other comprehensive income and as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
