Answer:

The Janjua Company

a) Journal Entry:

Debit FVA (AFS) $1,500

Credit Unrealized Gain on Investments $1,500

To record the unrealized gain on AFS investment.

b) Equity Section of the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018:

Common Stock                                $65,000

Treasury Stock (at cost)                     (13,400)

Paid-in-Capital in Excess of Par         82,000

Retained Earnings                              32,300

Total Stockholders' Equity             $165,600

Explanation:

Retained Earnings:

1/1/18 = $22,000

Net income = $10,300

12/31/18 = $32,300

FVA = The Janjua Company's Funding Valuation Adjustment is the contra account of Investments where The Janjua Company adjusts the value of investments at the end of the account period.  When the value of the investment reaches $40,000, the unrealized gain is debited to the FVA account.  This effectively reverses the credit balance and restores the investments to the adjusted balance of $40,000.
