    You can either account for the asset at fair value or at a nominal value $1

    I suspect that many entities would go down the nominal value route

    One of the great aunt and unanswered questions. I think they would credit a reserve and then make a transfer from that reserve to profit and loss as the asset is depreciated. I’m sure that’s why companies book these assets at a nominal value because otherwise it causes accounting complications

    Great answer , how about another way round which the entity donates NCA to another non-related entity? Will the Debit entry is other expense or reserve?
