I heard the fair value of my answers is about tree fiddy. Not sure if that's correct, but it's the best I can do.

Wait, are we supposed to know the difference between fair value and the price to acquire an asset? I thought they were the same thing. This exam is rigged, I tell you!

Fair value is specific to the entity making the measurement, while price to acquire is the actual cost.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I guess I'll just pick the answer that sounds the most like something an accountant would say, which is probably C) II & III.

Hold on, are you telling me that transportation costs are included but not transaction costs? That's like saying I can get to the store for free but I have to pay for the items. Sounds like a trick question to me.
