This note is relevant:
(3)
During the year ended 31 October 20X3, one of the FVTPL investments which had a carrying amount of $62,000 was sold for $59,000. The proceeds have been deducted from the year-end balance of these investments, however, any gain or loss on disposal should have been recorded in administrative expenses. The remaining investments in this classification had a fair value of $184,300 at 31 October 20X3 which still needs to be recognised. Any gain or loss on revaluation should be recorded in other income.But the answer says:
“We must then perform a valuation on the remaining investments classified as
FVTPL. The fair value gain at 31 October 20X3 is $8,900 ($184,300 – [$178,400
– $3,000]):
Dr Investments – FVTPL 8,900
Cr Finance/Investment income 8,900
being year-end valuation on remaining financial instruments classified as FVTPL”By the way, the answer also moved the other income’s OB of 15,151 to Finanance/Investment income account to finalize the Finance/Investment income item on PL at 21,051.
so, why was the note stated that “Any gain or loss on revaluation should be recorded in other income”.

FVTPL gains/losses go through profit or loss and as it is a gain in this instance it has been taken through finance income.
Thanks
