b. Acquisition cost. Acquisition cost is the consideration paid or received plus any directly attributable transaction costs to the acquisition or issuance of the<br />

d. The present value of the contractual cash flows less impairment.<br />

13. Is there any exception to the requirement to measure at fair value, financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss or available for sale?<br />

a. No. Such assets are always measured at fair value.<br />

b. Yes. If the fair value of such assets increases above cost, the resulting unrealized holding gains are not recognized but deferred until realized.<br />

c. Yes. If the entity has the positive intention and ability to hold assets classified in those categories to maturity, they are measured at amortized cost.<br />

d. Yes. Investments in unquoted equity instruments that cannot be reliably measured at fair value (or derivatives that are linked to and must be settled in such<br />

unquoted equity instruments) are measured at cost.<br />

14. What is the effective interest rate of a bond or other debt instrument measured at amortized cost?<br />

a. The stated coupon rate of the debt instrument.<br />

b. The interest rate currently charged by the entity or by others for similar debt instruments (i.e., similar remaining maturity, cash flow pattern, currency, credit<br />

risk, collateral, and interest basis).<br />

c. The interest rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the debt instrument or, when appropriate, a<br />

shorter period to the net carrying amount of the instrument.<br />
