On May 20, 2017, Novak sold 2,490 of the Nirmala common shares at a
market price of $29 per share less brokerage commissions of $2,366.
The year-end fair values per share were as follows: Nirmala $25;
Oxana $46; and WTA $23. The chief accountant of Novak tells you

of selling them in order to earn short-term profits from
appreciation in their prices and accounts for them using the FV-NI
model, with no separate reporting of dividends and other types of
FV-NI investment income and losses.
Assume that Novak Corporation follows IFRS 9.
