Question:

Ramirez Company has an investment in 6%, 10-year bonds of Soto Company. The investment was originally purchased at par for $100 in 2016 and it is accounted for at amortized cost. Early in 2017, Ramirez recorded an impairment on the Soto investment due to Soto's financial distress. At that time, the present value of the cash flows discounted using the original effective interest rate was $90, and the present value of the cash flows using the then current market rate was $91. In 2018, Soto returned to profitability and the Soto investment was no longer considered impaired. Prepare the entries Ramirez would make in 2017 and 2018 under ASPE.
