Asset Account (debit)

Unrealized Gain/Loss on Investment (credit)

Should unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses be reversed in the following year?

Yes, unrealised gain/ (loss) should be reversed in the following year to bring the balances to original/ historical amounts. Subsequently, at the time of settlement of a liability/ collection of a receivable, the actual/ realised gain/ (loss) is booked in the year in which it incurred. When you track unrealized gains and losses, you make an entry for the current month, then reverse the entry you made in the previous month. It's important that you remember to reverse the previous month's entry; if you don't, gain and loss amounts for future months will be inaccurate.

An Unrealized Gain on Investment is almost like revenue. It occurs when the market price of a trading security is higher than the actual price the company holding it paid for. Say a company buys stock in company XYZ, Inc. for $5,000. At the end of the year the current market value for said stock is $7,000. This is + $2,000 more than they paid, so it is a gain. It is "Unrealized" because the company still owns the trade security.
