B. How are unrealized gains and losses treated differently for available-for-sale securities than for trading securities?

Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are accumulated over time and reported as a credit (positive) or debit (negative) balance in the Stockholders Equity/ Other income(loss) section. As a result, the changes in fair value are not reflected/are reflected on the income statement, as is the case with trading securities. Bypassing the income statement is not supported/supported on the grounds that available-for-sale securities will be held for longer/shorter time than trading securities; thus, fluctuations in market prices have a greater opportunity/ no opportunity to cancel out over time.

Please i need help. In part B chose one of the two options. Thank you!
