Question 2 Arantxa Corporation made the following purchases of investments during 2014, the first year in which Arantxa invested in equity securities: 1. On January 15, purchased 8,370 shares of Nirmala Corp.s common shares at $31.16 per share plus commission of $1,841.2. On April 1, purchased 4,650 shares of Oxana Corp.s common shares at $48 per share plus commission of $3,134.3. On September 10, purchased 6,510 shares of WTA Corp.s preferred shares at $24.65 per share plus commission of $2,706. On May 20,2014, Arantxa sold 2,790 of the Nirmala common shares at a market price of $33 per share less brokerage commissions of $2,651. The year-end fair values per share were as follows: Nirmala $28; Oxana $51; and WTA $26. The chief accountant of Arantxa tells you that Arantxa Corporation holds these investments with the intention of selling them in order to earn short-term profits from appreciation in their prices and accounts for them using the fair value though net income model, with no separate reporting of dividends and other types of FV-NI investment income and losses. Assume that Arantxa Corporation follows IFRS, and specifically IAS 39. Collapse question part (a) Prepare the journal entries to record the three investments. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually. Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g.5,275.)
