Cr  unrealized gain/(loss) on AFS investments                                        $6890

Explanation:

The unrealized  gain or loss on the available-for-sale securities is the difference between its cost of $252,000 and the fair value of $258,890 on 31st December.

Gain/(loss)=$258,890-$252,000=$6890  unrealized gain

The amount would be credited to unrealized gain/(loss) on AFS investments while Valuation Allowance for Available-for-Sale Investments would be debited with the same amount
