However, although it will affect net income, the change in status will not impact the reported value of the assets. According to SFAS 115, securities transferred from available-for-sale to trading securities are transferred at fair market value and unrealized gains or losses would be included in income.

C)   Income and stockholder's equity will rise by $200,000.

Correct answer is A)

The stocks were classified as debt and equity securities available for sale, but now they will be classified as debt and equity trading securities. The gain would have been reported in the securities valuation account in the equity section and not on the income statement, but now will be reported as income.
