Available-for-sale (AFS) securities: These are short-term or long-term investments in debt and equity securities with an intention of holding the investment for some strategic purposes like meeting liquidity needs, or manage interest risk.
Journal entry: Journal entry is a set of economic events which can be measured in monetary terms. These are recorded chronologically and systematically.
Debit and credit rules:
- Debit an increase in asset account, increase in expense account, decrease in liability account, and decrease in stockholders’ equity accounts.
- Credit decrease in asset account, increase in revenue account, increase in liability account, and increase in stockholders’ equity accounts.

Table (1)
Explanation of Solution
- Investment in Bonds is an asset account. Since bonds investments are purchased, asset value increased, and an increase in asset is debited.
- Discount on Bond Investment is a contra-asset account. The contra-asset account generally has a credit balance. So, credit the discount, indicating a reduction in carrying amount of bonds to the cost.
- Cash is an asset account. Since cash is paid, asset account decreased, and a decrease in asset is credited.

- Cash is an asset account. Since cash is received, asset account increased, and an increase in asset is debited.
- Discount on Bond Investment is a contra-asset account. The contra-asset account generally has a credit balance. Since the discount amount is reduced, the account is debited.
- Interest Revenue is a revenue account. Since revenues increase equity, equity value is increased, and an increase in equity is credited.

- Cash is an asset account. Since cash is received, asset account increased, and an increase in asset is debited.
- Loss on Sale of Investments is a loss account. Since losses and expenses decrease equity, equity value is decreased, and a decrease in equity is debited.
- Discount on Bond Investment is a contra-asset account. The contra-asset account generally has a credit balance. Since the discount amount is closed on the sale date, the account is debited to make the discount balance zero.
