正确答案：
(ii) Fair value option
As set out above, the standard permits entities to designate irrevocably on initial recognition any financial asset or liability
as one to be measured at fair value with gains and losses recognised in profit or loss. The fair value option was generally
introduced to reduce profit or loss volatility as it can be used to measure an economically matched position in the same
way (at fair value). Additionally it can be used in place of IAS 39’s requirement to separate embedded derivatives as
the entire contract is measured at fair value with changes reported in profit or loss.
Although the fair value option can be of use, it can be used in an inappropriate manner thus defeating its original
purpose. For example, companies might apply the option to instruments whose fair value is difficult to estimate so as
to smooth profit or loss as valuation of these instruments might be subjective. Also the use of this option might increase
rather than decrease volatility in profit or loss where, for example, a company applies the option to only one part of a
‘matched’ position. Finally, if a company applied the option to financial liabilities, it might result in the company
recognising gains or losses for changes in its own credit worthiness.
The IASB has issued an exposure draft amending IAS 39 in this area restricting the financial assets and liabilities to
which the fair value option can be applied.
I hope that the above information is useful.

正确答案：
Part (d):
Oliver should arrange a formal grievance interview with the appropriate partner. Both Oliver and the partner need to be aware that
the grievance interview follows three steps in a particular and logical order. The meeting between Oliver and the partner responsible
for human resources must be in a formal atmosphere.
The first stage is exploration. The manager or supervisor – in this case the partner responsible for human resources – must gather
as much information as possible. No solution must be offered at this stage. The need is to establish what is actually the problem;
the background to the problem (in this case the icy relationship between Oliver and David Morgan) and the facts and causes of
the problem – in this case the resentment felt by David Morgan over Oliver’s appointment.
The second stage is the consideration stage. This is undertaken by the appropriate manager or partner here, who must firstly check
the facts, analyse the causes of the complaint and evaluate possible solutions. The meeting may be adjourned if at this stage the
partner requires more time to fulfil this step.
The final stage is the reply. This will be carried out by the partner after he or she has reached and reviewed a conclusion. It is
important that the outcome is recorded in writing; the meeting and therefore the interview and procedure is only successful when
an agreement is reached.
If no agreement is reached then the procedure should be taken to a higher level of management.
