Option C is the way to go! Now if only I could figure out how to invest like KL and make a cool 8% return on my shares. Maybe I should ask the broker for a 0.5% discount...

Investing like KL sounds like a good idea, especially with that 8% return on shares.

Ah, the joys of accounting standards. I wonder if the exam writers get a kick out of seeing us squirm over these financial instrument questions. At least it's not as bad as trying to decipher the tax code!

Hmm, this one's a bit tricky. I'm going to go with option C, but I hope the exam doesn't have any of those 'trick questions' that make you second-guess yourself!

I think option C is the correct answer here. The investment should be measured at fair value, and the increase in value from the acquisition price to the market price on 31 December 20X0 should be recorded in other comprehensive income.

This question is testing our understanding of how to account for available-for-sale (AFS) investments under IAS 39. The key is to recognize that the investment should be measured at fair value, with the change in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income.
