Quick Summary
When contributing assets like buildings or furniture to a business, the initial accounting treatment is crucial. The general consensus is that these assets should be recorded at their cost price upon initial recognition. While revaluation might be possible later, the starting point is always the cost incurred.
Initially recognised at cost! Even if anyone buys second hand car at fair value, it is always recorded initially at cost. I need evidence with paragraph numbers if this isn't the case.
