Answer:
In order to find loss we need to find out value of building and to compare it with Fair Value of Building as calculated below-:
Carrying Amount of Building 16,000,000
+Elevator Replacement 3,200,000
Value of Building 19,200,000
Fair Value of Building as on 31st December 17,200,000
therefore loss to be recognized in the books is 2,000,000(19,200,000 - 17,200,000)
Correct Answer-> 2,000,000 (Option-B)
