Which of the following statements concerning the presentation of financial instruments measured at fair value is/are correct!

I. When some assets and liabilities are measured using the fair value option and other similar assets and liabilities are not measured using that option, the two groups and related amounts must be shown as separate line items in the balance sheet.

II. Because assets and liabilities measured using the fair value option are adjusted to fair value each period, cash receipts and cash payments related to those assets and liabilities are not reported in the statement of cash flows.

A.  I only.
B.  II only.
C.  Both I and II.
D.  Neither I nor II.

When some assets and liabilities are measured using the fair value option and other similar assets and liabilities are not measured using that option, the two groups and related amounts do not have to be shown as separate line items in the balance sheet (Statement I). Both groups can be shown as a single line item, with the amount measured at fair value shown in parenthesis. And, just because assets and liabilities measured using the fair value option are adjusted to fair value each period, that does not affect the fact that the cash receipts and cash payments related to those assets and liabilities be reported in the statement of cash flows (Statement II).

Which of the following statements concerning the presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities is/are correct for a firm that elects to use fair value measurement for some, but not all, of its financial assets and liabilities?

I. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value must be shown separately in the balance sheet from financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value.
II. Cash flows related to financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are all classified in the statement of cash flows as operating activities.

A.  Neither I nor II is correct.
B.  I only.

Only statement I is correct. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value must be shown separately in the balance sheet from financial assets and liabilities measured using another (other than fair value) measurement method. That separation may be in the form of separate line items or with the amount measured at fair value shown as a parenthetical amount on the face of the balance sheet. Statement II is not correct. Cash flows related to items measured at fair value should be classified as either operating, investing or financing activities according to their nature and purpose, not all simply as operating activities.
C.  II only.
D.  Both I and II are correct.


there is confusion considering both question...in bold

It seems as though these questions were intentionally written to make us have to read them several times and burn valuable time off the clock. I think they're
saying that they have to be separate, but not on separate lines.
I imagine it would look sort of like this:
A. $25,000 assets
      $30,000 assets at fair value
or
B. $55,000 assets, ($30,000 at fair value)
So the first question is saying there is only ONE way to separate them which is wrong (because there are two) and the second question just says that they MUST
be separated without saying how. At least that's what I think it means.
