    Explanation:

    we have to multiply the share cost by the amount we acquire

    same goes for sales and compare with the cost to solve for short-term capital gains when we sale and unrealized gains if we don't sale.

    when we receive dividends we recognize a gain.

    last we check for the book value and compare with the fair value:

    B&D 57,000

    HCA 82,500

    Total 139,500

    Fair value 144,000

    unrealized gain 4,500

    Explanation:

    For every shares bought to get total amount paid we take the number of shares bought at that date and multiple by the amount per share.

    for every dividend paid received, we take the amount received per share owned and multiple by total number of shares owned.

    for the fair value loss, we compare the value of the stock investment portfolio to the fair value at the end of the year and adjust the portfolio value to the fair value at the end of the year.
