: (1)3,100 shares of Anderson Co. common stock which cost $62,000,(2)10,500 shares of Munter Ltd. common stock which
cost $609,000, and (3)6,200 shares of King Company preferred stock which cost $266,600. The Fair Value Adjustment account shows

not actively trade these securities because the top management intends to hold them for more than one year.
