On January 1, 2014, Morrill, Inc., purchased at par value a bond issued by a German company for 5,000 euros. Morrill classifies this security in its available-for-sale (AFS) portfolio. On December 31, 2014, the fair value of the bond is 4,800 euros. The applicable exchange rates are:

3. Compare the effect on 2014 income and other comprehensive income (OCI) for U.S. GAAP and IFRS.
