Question - In early December of 2021, Blue Corp. purchased $40,000 of Yellow Company bonds, which constitutes less than 3% of Yellow's outstanding debt. Blue accounts for the Yellow investment as available-for-sale. By December 31, 2022, the value of the Yellow investment had fallen to $30,000, and Blue determined that $4,000 of that decline was due to a credit loss. Blue did not believe it was more likely than not that it would have to sell the investment before fair value recovered. By December 31, 2022, the value of the Yellow investment had fallen to $15,000, Blue determined that $2,000 of the additional decline was due to additional credit loss, and Blue determined that it is more likely than not that it will need to sell the bonds before their fair value recovers. By December 31, 2023, Blue still owned the bonds and their fair value had recovered to $20,000.
