Investing Activities and Financial Statements

New to this. Could anyone give some ideas on how to answer the following interview question?

The firm invested in a company which cost 200. In the end the investment resulted in a loss of 100. How do these activities affect the three financial statements?

The question itself is just as simple as it goes, so I assume you have to make assumptions/discuss different scenarios when answering the question.
