QUESTION 1 – PART A: Multiple Choice (4 marks)
Question 1
Which one of the following definitions is correct according to IFRS 13, Fair value
measurement?
Correct Answer: 1
Explanation (Humanised):
According to IFRS 13, "highest and best use" means how an asset can be used in the
most valuable and effective way, especially by people in the market. It’s about using the
asset where it adds the most value — even if it’s part of a bigger group of assets like a
business.
Question 2
Which one of the following is a characteristic that a market participant will have in terms
of IFRS 13?
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation (Humanised):
People in the market (called market participants) must be able to freely enter a
transaction. This means they are willing and able to buy or sell something without
being forced. That’s why option 3 is correct — it says they “have the ability to enter” the
deal.
Question 3
Which one of the following statements relating to inputs in terms of IFRS 13 is
incorrect?
, Correct Answer: 2
Explanation (Humanised):
Option 2 is wrong because Level 3 inputs are actually the least reliable and are based
on assumptions, not on market prices. But the option wrongly says Level 3 inputs are
quoted prices in active markets — which is actually Level 1.
Question 4
Which one of the following statements relating to fair value measurement is incorrect?
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation (Humanised):
This is incorrect because fair value is not based on what just one company thinks (not
“entity-specific”). It must reflect what market participants (people in the broader
market) would agree on. Fair value is a market-based value, not just what the business
thinks.
QUESTION 1 PART B – (46 Marks Total)
(a) Five criteria for a contract (5 marks)
1. Agreement – Both the company and the customer have agreed and accepted
the deal. It can be written, spoken, or understood by action.
2. Rights – Each party clearly knows what they’re getting. For example, the
company will deliver the product, and the customer will pay.
3. Payment terms – How much the customer will pay and when they’ll pay is
agreed upon.
4. Commercial substance – The deal must have a real economic impact. In other
words, something meaningful must happen (like earning profit).
