Investment Reserve Fund is maintained by companies to bring the value of investments to market price if it falls below their book value at the end of financial year. Now in your question the value of investment has fallen by Rs.20000 while the Investment Reserve Fund is only Rs.15,000/-. The journal entry for this purpose will be:
Investment Reserve Fund A/c Dr. 15,000
Profit & Loss A/c Dr. 5,000
To Investment A/c 20,000
In this manner the investment will come down to their market value i.e. Rs.1,30,000.
