e. None of the above

Respuesta :

Answer: Option (A)

Explanation:

Fair values mostly tends to exist for the marketable security but this in terms does not state that this method is applicable. For instance if investor tends to control the entity with the traded equity, therefore the investment is centralized and thereby, fair-value method of accounting is not being used.

Therefore, from the given options we can state that option (A) does not precisely describes the fair value method.
