Multico is a securities dealer whose principal market is with other securities dealers. To take advantage of a perceived opportunity, on December 31, the end of its fiscal year, Multico acquired a financial asset in a market other than its principal market for $50,000. At that date, the identical instrument could be sold in Multico's principal market for $50,100 with a $200 transaction cost. Which of the following amounts would constitute fair value to Multico for the financial asset at December 31?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$50,100

Explanation:

Given that

Acquired value of a financial asset other than principal market = $50,000

Sale value of the identical instrument in principal market = $50,100

Transaction cost = $200

For reporting the fair value, we have to exclude the transaction cost i.e $200 and consider that cost which is to be received while exchanging i.e $50,100

This sale value would be equal to the fair value i.e $50,100 should be reported as a fair value
