Under U.S. GAAP, what alternatives do companies have to value their property, plant,and equipment?
International Financial Reporting Standard No. 16 provides companies the option of valuing property, plant, and equipment at either historical cost or fair value. If fair value is selected, then the property, plant, and equipment must be revalued periodically to fair value. Under fair value, if there is an increase in the value of the property, plant, and equipment during the reporting period, then the increase is credited to stockholders’ equity. However, if there is a decrease in fair value, then the decrease is reported as an expense for the period.How is the international accounting treatment for changes in fair value for property, plant, and equipment similar to investments?
If an entity capitalized transaction costs to a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, then subsequently adjusted the initial cost to fair value at year-end, what is the overall effect on the current year net income? *
A. Current year net income will be understated
B. Current year net income will be overstated
C. Current year net income will either be overstated or understated, depending on whether the fair value at year end is more than, less than, or equal to the initial cost
D. No effect
