Explanation:

a) Trading securities are a category of securities that include both debt securities and equity securities. An entity holds them with the intention to sell in the short-term for a profit that arises from increases in the prices of the securities.

b) Fair value is an asset's selling price, which is freely agreed upon between a willing and knowledgeable buyer and seller. But, for Debt Securities, it represents the market value of the investments at any point in time when financial statements are being prepared. Investments that are held for trading purposes are required to be accounted for, using the fair value method. This implies that the gains and losses, both realized and unrealized must be accounted for whenever financial statements are bing prepared or when the investment is disposed of.

Suppose that a major city’s main thoroughfare, which is also an interstate highway, will be completely closed to traffic for two years, from january 2014 to december 2015, for reconstruction at a cost of $535 million. if the construction company were to keep the highway open for traffic during construction, the highway reconstruction project would take much longer and be more expensive. suppose that construction would take four years if the highway were kept open, at a total cost of $800 million. the state department of transportation had to make its decision in 2014, one year before the start of construction (so that the first payment was one year away). so the department of transportation had the following choices: (i) close the highway during construction, at an annual cost of $267.5 million per year for two years. (ii) keep the highway open during construction, at an annual cost of $200 million per year for four years. now suppose the interest rate is 80%. calculate the present value of the costs incurred under each plan.
