    The historical cost of the debt securities available for sale was $69,670.

    Explanation:

    Market value of the securities = $57,320

    Cumulative unrealized Loss = $12,350

    Historical cost of the securities held for sale = Market Value of the Securites + Cummulative unrealized losses

    Historical cost of the securities held for sale = $57,320 + $12,350

    Historical cost of the securities held for sale = $69,670

    Securities Held for sale are recorded at the fairmarket value and its losses are accumulated. By adding cummulative losses of security to Maerket value of security we can calculate historical cost of the security.
