Q3: In the context of the 'Solely Payments of Principal and Interest' (SPPI) assessment for investment classification, how is 'Principal' defined?
✅ Correct Answer: B
For the specific purpose of determining eligibility under the SPPI Test Criteria, 'Principal' is defined as the fair value of the security at initial recognition.
This value may change over the life of the security due to repayments or amortization, but the initial reference point is fair value, which is a key concept in these Investment Classification MCQs.
