Question:

Determination of cost  LO3 Kingfisher Ltd has acquired a new building for $500 000. It has incurred incidental costs of $10 000 in the acquisition process for legal fees, the real estate agent’s fees and stamp duties. Management believes that these costs should be expensed because they have not increased the value of the building and, if the building was immediately resold, these amounts would not be recouped. In other words, the fair value of the building is considered to still be $500 000. Required Discuss how these costs should be accounted for.
