Hold on, are you telling me that transportation costs are included but not transaction costs? That's like saying I can get to the store for free but I have to pay for the items. Sounds like a trick question to me.

I think the correct answer is B) I & IV. Fair value is specific to the entity, and the price in the principal market is the fair value measurement.
