During 2012, Blaylock Corp. made the following purchases:

  • 1,000 of the 500,000 outstanding shares of Ogel Company common stock for $68 per share.
  • 90 Patterson Inc. 8% bonds at par. Blaylock purchased these bonds on October 1, 2012. Each bond has a $1,000 face value, pays coupons every March 31 and September 30, and matures on March 31, 2030. 
  • 100 AHI Corp. 6% bonds at par. Blaylock purchased these bonds on January 2, 2012. Each bond has a $1,000 face value, pays coupons every June 30 and December 31, and matures on December 31, 2021.  

The management of Blaylock classifies the Patterson bonds as available-for-sale and the AHI bonds as held-to-maturity. The Ogel investment is not large enough for significant influence.

The December 31, 2012, fair market values of the investments were as follows:

  • Ogel stock: $73 per share
  • Patterson bonds: $970 each (i.e., “at 97”)
  • AHI bonds: $990 each (i.e., “at 99”)

The December 31, 2013, fair market values of the investments were as follows:

  • Ogel stock: $76 per share
  • Patterson bonds: $960 each (“at 96”)

  • Patterson bonds: $300 each (i.e., “at 30”)
  • AHI bonds: $1,010 each (i.e., “at 101”)

As of December 31, 2014, Blaylock’s management views the decline in value of the Patterson bonds as an impairment.
