    155,000 short term investment

    Explanation:

    The trading securities will be short term investment.

    In this case both are considered to be sale in the short term, so regardless of the maturity of the bonds, we will include them and disclosure in the short-term investment

    Also It would recognize the unrealized gain in the price change for both, the bonds and the securities:

    105,000 bonds

    50,000 equity securities

    155,000 short term investment
