for example like in IAS 40, investment properties, how do we know whether to use fair value model or cost model ? Because the question never state which model to use
Im really confused and also including other IASs as well
October 5, 2017 at 5:30 pm #409569Likenon sept/dec 2016 exam question number 1, ZIPPY, how do we know for section 4 whether to use cost model or fair value when they never clearly state on the question ?
October 6, 2017 at 1:03 am #409603In the middle of the paragraph, it says “Zippy has a policy of restating all land and buildings to fair value at each reporting date. “
October 6, 2017 at 3:10 am #409605Then if that paragraph was not mentioned explicitly , we use cost model ?
October 6, 2017 at 3:24 am #409606there isn’t a defaulted one. You should be able to find hints in the paragraphs telling you which method to use.
