Question 1

Under IAS 16, which cost model allows an asset to be carried at fair value less accumulated depreciation?

Accepted Answer

Capitalised and amortised over its useful life

IFRS 9

Answer

IFRS 9 replaced IAS 39 and now governs classification, measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting for financial instruments.

Question 4

Under IAS 2, inventories must be measured at:

Accepted Answer

The lower of cost and net realisable value

Answer

IAS 2 requires inventories to be stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, recognising any write-down to NRV in profit or loss.

Question 5

A finance lease under IFRS 16 requires the lessee to recognise:

Both a right-of-use asset and a lease liability
