Which statements are correct concerning measurement of cost of property, plant and equipment?I. The purchase price of an item of property, plant and equipment is the cash price equivalent at the date of recognitionII. If payment is deferred beyond normal credit terms, the difference between the cash price equivalent and total payment is recognized as interest expense over the life of the asset.III. If an item of property, plant and equipment is acquired in exchange for a nonmonetary asset or a combination of monetary and nonmonetary asset, the cost of such item is measured at fair value unless the exchange transaction lacks commercial substance or fair value of either asset received or given up is not reliably determinable.IV. If an entity is able to determine reliably the fair value of both the asset given up and asset received in an exchange, the fair value of the asset given up is used to measure the cost of asset received in exchange.

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.
What is the purpose of amortisation? To allocate the cost of an intangible non-current asset over its useful life To ensure that funds are available for the eventual purchase of a replacement non-current asset To reduce the cost of an intangible non-current asset in the statement of financial position to its estimated market value To account for the risk associated with intangible assets
