Which of the following refers to the similarity between the U.S. GAAP and IFRS regarding accounting for Long-Lived Assets? Depreciation is based on the fair value of assets. An impairment loss occurs if the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, defined as the higher of the asset’s fair value (less costs to sell) and its value in use, which is the discounted net cash flows. For the purposes of determination which expenses may be capitalized, Research and Development expenditures are treated differently. Intangible assets are acquired at amortized cost.
Consider the following statements:I. If the financial asset is reclassified from amortized cost to FVOCI, the financial asset is measured at fair value at the reclassification date and a new effective interest rate must be determined based on the new carrying amount or fair value at reclassification date.II. The difference between previous carrying amount and fair value of a financial asset when reclassified from amortized cost to FVPL is recognized in profit or loss.III. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive incomeis reclassified to profit or loss at reclassification date when the financial asset is reclassified from FVOCI to FVPL.IV. The original effective rate is not adjust for financial assets that are reclassified from FVPL to FVOCI.State whether the foregoing statements are incorrect.a. I and II are incorrectb. II and III are incorrectc. I and IV are incorrectd. All the statements are incorrect

(Based on Appendix 12B) Reporting an investment at its fair value requires adjusting its carrying amount forchanges in fair value after its acquisition (or since the last reporting date if it was held at that time). Such changesare called unrealized holding gains and losses because they haven’t yet been realized through the sale of thesecurity. If a security is classified as available-for-sale, and an unrealized holding loss is viewed as giving rise toan other-than-temporary (OTT) impairment, how is it reported in the financial statements?

Which statement is incorrect regarding reclassification of financial assets? Group of answer choices The effective interest rate and the measurement of expected credit losses are not adjusted as a result of the reclassification from AC measurement category to FVTOCI and vice versa. The effective interest rate is determined on the basis of the fair value of the asset at the reclassification date when an entity reclassifies a financial asset out of FVTPL measurement category. All reclassifications out of FVTOCI measurement category result in ‘reclassification adjustment’. Reclassifications to FVTPL measurement category result to amounts recognized in profit or loss.
