Solution

The incorrect statement is A. "If non-current assets are measured using the cost basis, they cannot be valued at less than their recoverable amount." This is not true because under the cost model, non-current assets can be valued at less than their recoverable amount if they are impaired. In other words, if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized and the asset is written down to its recoverable amount.
