Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Common Stock

Common stock is considered an important element of a corporation. It is reported in the equity section of the balance sheet, which shows the ownership of stakeholders in the company.

02

Calculation of Net Income

The interest amount received is the net income of the securities. So the net income is $3,000.

03

Calculation of comprehensive income

Net income
$3,000
Unrealized holding gain (net of tax)
$4,000
Comprehensive income
$7,000

ComprehensiveIncome=NetIncome+Unrealisedholdinggain=$3,000+$4,000=$7,0000

04

Calculation of Other Comprehensive Income

Other comprehensive income is the unrealized holding gain of $4,000.

05

Calculation of accumulated other comprehensive income

The accumulated other comprehensive income (Unrealized holding Gain) at the end of 2017 is $4,000.
