Note: Provisions of AS – 26 are not similar under specified heading as in AS – 13 & AS – 10. As per AS – 26, fair value of given asset or book value of given asset can be used for recognition and no settlement in cash will be considered.
            As per AS – 10 & 13, settlement in cash can take place at the time of exchange of asset because fair value of asset taken as well as fair value of asset given are considerable.
