- Bloom Corporation purchased $1,750,000 of Taylor Company 5% bonds, at their face amount, with neither the intent nor the ability to hold the bonds until they matured in 2028, so Bloom classifies its investment as AFS. Unfortunately, a combination of problems at Taylor Company and in the debt securities market caused the fair value of the Taylor investment to decline to $1,200,000 during 2024.
