I’m confused about the calculations. Is it really $134,000 for A?

I lean towards option C. Fair value gains should go to OCI.

I believe the gain should be $134,000, but I can't recall if it goes to profit or other comprehensive income. I need to double-check that part.

I practiced a similar question where the gain was calculated differently. I feel like I might be mixing up the profit or loss treatment with other comprehensive income.

I remember that under IAS 40, revaluation gains typically go to other comprehensive income, but I'm not sure about the exact amounts.
