    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

    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. “

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