Accounts Investments                                                                   3,060,000

Accrued Interest Receivable                                                       80,000

Accrued Interest Receivable                                                                       120,000                

(Record receipt of interest on 30 April 20X7)

Cash                                                                                                      120,000

Accrued Interest Receivable                                                                                       120,000

(Record accrued interest on 31 October)

Investments Revenues                                                                 5,000

Increase in Fair Value of Investments                                                                     5,000

(Record change in investments' fair value on 31 December)

The accrued interest would be recognized as revenue, the cash not be collected for more than 60 days after 31 December. The interest income of 40,000+40,000+120,000=200,000; then add the net increase in the fair value of the investment of 5,000 total equals 205,000.
