Nichols Corporation purchased $200,000 of Holly Inc. 6.0% bonds at par with the intent and ability to hold the bonds until they matured in 2022, so Nichols classifies its investment as held to maturity. Unfortunately, a combination of problems at Holly and in the debt market caused the fair value of the Holly investment to decline to $166,000 during 2018. Nichols calculates that, of the $34,000 decrease in fair value, $10,000 of it relates to credit losses and $24,000 relates to noncredit losses. Assume that Nichols concludes that the Holly bonds are other-than-temporarily impaired because Nichols is planning to sell the bonds in the near future. Before-tax net income for 2018 will be reduced by:

Nichols Corporation purchased $300,000 of Holly Inc. 8% bonds at par with the intent and ability to hold the bonds until they matured in 2022, so Nichols classifies its investment as held to maturity. Unfortunately, a combination of problems at Holly and in the debt market caused the fair value of the Holly investment to decline to $254,000 during 2018. Nichols calculates that, of the $46,000 decrease in fair value, $12,000 of it relates to credit losses and $34,000 relates to noncredit losses. Assume that Nichols concludes that the Holly bonds are other-than-temporarily impaired because Nichols believes it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the Holly bonds before the bonds have a chance to recover their fair value. Before-tax net income for 2018 will be reduced by:
