I remember something about fair value being the key for available-for-sale assets, but I'm not sure if transaction costs are included or not.

I'm a little confused here. Is fair value the same as present value? I'll need to review the definitions of these terms before I can confidently answer this.

Okay, I think I've got it. Since it's an Available for Sale asset, we record it at fair value on the acquisition date, and the transaction costs are expensed separately. Option A looks like the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this. Does the fact that it's an Available for Sale asset mean we need to include the transaction costs? I'll have to double-check the accounting standards.
