A

Reporting the less optimistic amounts - used to avoid misleading internal and external users of the financial statements. Unless it is unlikely for the conservative amount to be accurate - overly conservative estimates can be misleading.

85
Q

What is the income approach of assessing fair value?

Using present value techniques to discount cash flow

86
Q

A
  1. The transaction is between related parties;
  2. The transaction takes place when the seller is under duress (e.g., in a liquidation sale);
  3. The unit of account for the transaction price is different from the unit of account that would be used to measure the asset or liability at fair value. For example, if the asset or liability measured at fair value is part of a business in a business combination, there are unstated rights associated with an asset that are measured separately, or the quoted price includes transaction costs, such as with oil
  4. The market in which the transaction price takes place is different from the principal market (or most advantageous market).
87
Q

Identify when a change in techniques may be appropriate and the consequence of such a change.

A

A change in valuation technique or its application is appropriate if the change will result in a more representative fair value

88
Q

Identify when the fair value option can be applied.

A
  1. When the item is first recognized;
  2. When an eligible firm commitment is established;
  3. Specialized accounting for an item ceases to exist;

89
Q

When can the fair value option not be applied?

A
  1. An investment in a subsidiary that is to be consolidated
  2. An interest in a variable interest entity that is to be consolidated

91
Q
