Final answer:
Without additional context or information provided for the business combination question, it is not possible to determine the correct amount that would be expensed using the acquisition method. The chapters mentioned do not contain relevant details for this specific question.
The correct option is not given.
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the provided information, to determine the amount related to the business combination that would be expensed using the acquisition method, we need to explore the accounting rules. However, none of the given options can be directly associated with an expense related to a business combination without additional information.
Typically, expenses related to business combinations under the acquisition method may include costs to effect the acquisition such as advisory, legal, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees. Directly attributable costs of the transaction may be expensed as incurred, but without specific data on the nature of the costs, determining which amount would be expensed is not possible.
Given the information provided from 'Chapter 7' and 'SELF-CHECK QUESTIONS', we can understand how to calculate accounting profit by subtracting explicit costs from revenues. However, since there is no direct mention of business combination or acquisition expenses, a conclusion for the business combination question cannot be drawn based on the information provided.
The correct option is not given.
