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.
