    Answer: Unrealized gain of $169,000

    Explanation:

    Therefore,

    Purchased price of shares = $21, 000

    Trading price at year end = $190,000

    trading price - purchased price

    Unrealized gain which is the difference in the trading price at year end and the purchased price.

    $190,000 - $21,000 = $169,000

    The Unrealized gain will be $169,000 as the carrying balance on Ewok's balance sheet will be $190,000 while purchased price will be $21,000
