    Farming land is purchased for its investment potential. Planning permission has not been obtained for building constructions of any kind. Is this an investment property?

    • Yes

    • No

    This is land held for long term capital appreciation and therefore is an investment property. The lack of planning permission is not relevant as values can appreciate in the absence of permission to build.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All of the given assets can be classified as investment properties. A building that is leased to generate rental income qualifies as an investment property. An unoccupied building that is held for capital appreciation or future use as an investment also falls under this category. Similarly, land held for long-term appreciation or for generating rental income is considered an investment property. Therefore, all three options mentioned - building leased, unoccupied building, and land - can be classified as investment properties.

    • IAS 40 and SMEs 17

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. IAS 40 and IFRS 16
    Explanation
    The correct answer is IAS 40 and IFRS 16. These are the standards that provide guidance on how to account for investment properties. IAS 40 specifically deals with the measurement, recognition, and presentation of investment properties, while IFRS 16 provides guidance on lease accounting, which is relevant for investment properties that are leased. Therefore, these two standards are the appropriate standards to refer to when accounting for investment properties.

    How should an investment property be measured? 

    • At it's fair value

    • At it's deemed cost

    • At it's cost

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. At it's cost
    Explanation
    An investment property should be measured at its cost because this is the initial amount paid to acquire the property. Cost includes the purchase price, transaction costs, and any other directly attributable costs. Fair value and deemed cost are not appropriate measurements for investment properties as they are typically used for other types of assets.

    Correct Answer
    A. It continues to treat the property as an investment property
    Explanation
    When an undertaking decides to dispose of an investment property without development, it continues to treat the property as an investment property. This means that the undertaking will still recognize the property as an investment and account for it accordingly, rather than reclassifying it as owner-occupied or transferring it to inventory.
