Cost of investment by All Good Company = No. of shares purchased * Purchase Price per share

= 12000 * $13

= $156,000

Value per share of All Good Company at the end of the year = $12.50

Hence, total value at the end of the year = No. of shares held * Price per share

= 12000 * $12.50

= $150,000

Unrealized loss per share to be recognised = ($12.5 - $13) = -$0.5

Total unrealized loss to be recognised = No of shares held * Unrealized Loss per share

= 12000 * -$0.5 = -$6,000

Alternatively, it can aslo be calculated as ,

Unreliazed gain/(loss) = Total value at the end of the year - Cost of investment

= $150,000 - $156,000 = -$6,000
