While reviewing the March 31, 2016, balance sheet of Business Solutions, Santana Rey notes that the business has built a large cash balance of $68,057. Its most recent bank money market statement shows that the funds are earning an annualized return of 0.75%. S. Rey decides to make several investments with the desire to earn a higher return on the idle cash balance. Accordingly, in April 2016, Business Solutions makes the following investments in trading securities:
Apr. 16 Purchases 400 shares of Johnson Johnson stock at $50 per share plus a $300 commission.
Apr. 30 Purchases 200 shares of Starbucks Corporation at $22 per share plus a $250 commission.
On June 30, 2016, the per share market price (fair value) of the Johnson Johnson shares is $55 and the Starbucks shares is $19.
Required
1. Prepare journal entries to record the April purchases of trading securities by Business Solutions.
