Lucille Edgewater, CFA, is analyzing Pfaff Company, which reports its long-lived assets using the revaluation model. Edgewater needs to determine 1) what Pfaff’s carrying value of property, plant and equipment would be under the historical cost model, and 2) which of Pfaff’s intangible assets have finite useful lives. Will these items be disclosed in Pfaff’s financial statements?

Under IFRS, firms that use the revaluation model for PP&E must disclose its carrying value under the historical cost model. Firms must also disclose whether the useful lives of intangible assets are finite or indefinite.
