The collapse of the auction-rate bond market is costing shareholders of companies from Google Inc. to Royal Bank of Canada more than $1.8 billion in investment losses.

Google, owner of the most popular Internet search engine, reported on May 12 that it lost $10.8 million on $259.6 million it had invested in the bonds, marking down the debt by about 4 percent.
