In your example question on FVTOCI in financial instruments lectures, how do we record the actual profit of $150,000?
Dr Investment 540,000 Cr Bank 540,000
Dr Investment 80,000 Cr Gain (OCI) 80,000
If we sold a financial asset for $650,000 where fair value is $620,000, which we bought for $500,000, we would realise the gain of $120,000. But what about the actual cash received?
Dr Bank 150,000 Cr Revenue 150,000 now it is realised?
And when would the gain on FVTOCI be removed from the OCI section?
On disposal the gain is recognised through profit or loss at $30,000. The amounts recognised in OCI would then be taken to retained earnings via reserve transfer in the SOCE.
