Question

On February 1, 2021, the Xilon Corporation issued 47,000 shares of its no-par common stock in exchange for five acres of land located in the city of Monrovia. On the date of the acquisition, Xilon's common stock had a fair value of $16 per share. An office building was constructed on the site by an independent contractor. The building was completed on November 2, 2021, at a cost of $6,800,000. Xilon paid $4,400,000 in cash and the remainder was paid by the city of Monrovia.
Assuming that Xilon prepares its financial statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards, select all the correct alternatives the company has for recording the acquisition of the office building.

a. Same treatment as GAAP.
b. Deduct the amount of the grant in determining the initial cost of the office building.
c. Record the grant as a liability, deferred income, in the balance sheet and recognize it in the income statement systematically over the office building's useful life.
