(the location characteristic of an asset)

Answer 9

used to adjust fair value for measurement purposes

Question 10

True

Question 24

True or False

If reporting entity has elected to report the investment in another company using the fair value option, it should not recognize its share of the investment company reported net income, but should recognize its share of cash dividends received during the period (.30 x $20,000 = $6,000) and the increase in the fair value of the investment ($400,000 > $410,000 = $10,000), or $6,000 + $10,000 = $16,000.

Answer 24

True

Question 25

True or False

The determination of fair value is based on a hypothetical transaction and on the use of a (hypothetical) exit price not entry price

Answer 25

True

Answer 26

Market participants

Question 27

taking into account transaction costs and transportation costs when

Answer 27

When there is no principal market for the financial asset, the most advantageous market must be used to determine fair value.

The most advantageous market is the market that maximizes the amount that would be received to sell the asset (or minimizes the amount that would be paid to transfer a liability), after taking into account transaction costs and transportation costs.

Therefore, the quoted price of the asset in the most advantage market, unadjusted for the transaction costs, is fair value.
