Question $1$

Corinth Biotech Limited $($CBL$)$ started operations in January $2018.$ CBL reports under IFRS. The following activities occurred during the year:

On January $31,2018,$ the shareholder, John Ahaz, contributed a parcel of land and a building located in Burnaby to CBL in return for $1,000$ common. The land's appraised value was $$110,000$ while the building's appraised value was $$420,000.$ The value of the common shares is unknown.

On November $30,2018,$ CBL decided that it needed to move its offices from Burnaby to Vancouver. Accordingly, it traded its Burnaby land and building for a different land and building located in Vancouver. The appraised value of the Vancouver land was $$106,000$ while the appraised value of the Vancouver building was $$480,000.$ On this date, the Burnaby land had an appraised value of $$145,000$ but the value of the Burnaby building was unknown. The transaction lacks commercial substance.

Assume that CBL amortizes its buildings on a declining$-$balance method at a rate of $6\%$ per year, prorated monthly.

Assume that the appraised value of the Vancouver land is more reliable than the appraised value of the Burnaby land.
