✓ Answer: C. A present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, a probable outflow of economic benefits, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount.
IAS 37 specifies three criteria for recognising a provision: a present obligation from a past event, a probable outflow of economic benefits, and a reliable estimate of the amount. A 'possible' obligation is a contingent liability.
Q3. A company uses the fair value model for its investment properties. An investment property had a fair value of £1,000,000 at 31 December 20X1. During the year to 31 December 20X2, the company spent £50,000 on enhancing the property. The property's fair value at 31 December 20X2 was £1,120,000. What is the total gain to be recognised in profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 20X2?
  • A.  £120,000
  • B.  £70,000
  • C.  £170,000
  • D.  £50,000
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B. £70,000
Under the fair value model, capital expenditure is not added to the carrying amount. The movement in fair value is recognised in profit or loss. Gain = Closing fair value (£1,120,000) - Opening fair value (£1,000,000) - Capital expenditure (£50,000) = £70,000.
