SBRFair value vs cost model... need help ! !

JLjihun lee8y ago
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

Likenon 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 ?

In the middle of the paragraph, it says "Zippy has a policy of restating all land and buildings to fair value at each reporting date. "

Then if that paragraph was not mentioned explicitly , we use cost model ?

there isn't a defaulted one. You should be able to find hints in the paragraphs telling you which method to use.
