Question

In early December of 2018, Blue Corp. purchased $42,200 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, 2018, the value of the Yellow investment had fallen to $31,100, and Blue recorded an unrealized holding loss. By December 31, 2019, the value of the Yellow investment had fallen to $16,100, and Blue determined that it is more likely than not that it will need to sell the bonds before their fair value recovers, so Blue recorded an OTT impairment.
