Answer:

The value per bond must be $1000

Explanation:

The reason is that the short term investments must be valued at current fair market value which is $1000 per bond today so the perceived value of the unit bond which is $1200 per bond is irrelevant here.

The amount recorded = Number of bonds * Current market value

The amount recorded = 250 * $1000 = $250,000
