On January 1, 20X1, Entity B issues at par a $2 million BBB-rated exchange-traded 5-year fixed-rate debt instrument with an annual 10 percent coupon. Entity B has elected to account for this instrument using the fair value option. On December 31, 20X1, the instrument is trading as an asset in an active market at $929 per $1,000 of par value after payment of accrued interest. Entity B uses the quoted price of the asset in an active market as its initial input into the fair value measurement of its liability ($929 [$2 million $1,000] = $1,858,000). No adjustments are required to the quoted price of the asset.
