Suppose that everything was identical on Chevy's balance sheet and income statement except that, during 2018, Chevy used 100 of cash to purchase stock. Assume that, at year-end 2018, the fair value of the stock was 103. During November 2019, they sold the stock for 110 of cash. Relative to not having purchased the stock, what would be the total effect of having purchased the stock on pretax income, as well as year-end marketable securities, total assets and total equity assuming the stock was held as a Trading Security or Security Available for Sale? For purposes of this question, assume no taxes. Note that balance sheet effects are cumulative over the life of the security and that retained earnings is part of equity.

If the marketable securities were classified as Trading Securities:

2018

Trading Sec.: Total Assets: Pretax Income: Total Equity:

2019

Trading Sec.: Total Assets: Pretax Income: Total Equity:

If the marketable securities were classified as Securities Available for Sale

2018

Sec. Avail. Sale: Total Assets: Pretax Income: Total Equity:

2019

Sec. Avail. Sale: Total Assets: Pretax Income: Total Equity:

Suppose the facts were the same as the above, except that Chevy used the 100 to purchase bonds that mature in 2019. At year-end 2018, the fair value of the bonds was 103, and the bonds paid 6 in interest during 2018. Relative to not having purchased the bonds, what would be the total effect of having purchased the bonds on pretax income, as well as year-end marketable securities, total assets and total equity assuming they were treated as Held-to-Maturity? Again, assume no taxes. (2 points)

If the marketable securities were classified as Held-to-Maturity Securities (2018 only)
