    The three items are ultimately carried to the balance sheet.

    1) The cash as a Current Asset.
    2) The discount finishes in the Accumulated
    Losses.
    3) The Bonds int the Equity Balance.

    Would the amount in the Equities section be $98000 or $100000?

    It would definitely be $100,000.
