Savings Mart is a national retail chain. To entice the company to open a mega store in its jurisdiction, the city of Populationville donated a 20-acre tract of land to be used for construction. The land was originally purchased by the city for $276,000 three years ago. The appraisal value at the time of the donation was $326,000. For what amount should Savings Mart record the donated land?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$326,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Three year ago land purchased value = $276,000

Appraisal value at the time of donation = $326,000

Based on the above information, the amount that should be recorded is equal to the appraisal value i.e $326,000 as per GAAP and IFRS if the company should received any donation with related to land so it should be recorded at fair value rather than historical cost
