The characteristics of fair value are relevance (Herrmann, Saudagaran and Thomas, 2006), and the estimated fair value of property, plant and equipment from actively used asset markets is reliable. The investment property fair value measurement can provide relevant information to investors in evaluating the assets. Fair value can provide predicted future information and estimate the acquisition price, moreover, property, plant and equipment can be compared by putting them in different periods with fair value measurement, which is infeasible to historical cost measurement (Herrmann, Saudagaran and Thomas, 2006).

All of the measurement for the asset will have the same result in a perfect market (Biondi, 2011). However, Whittington (2010) claims that perfect and complete market does not exist in the realistic world. Therefore, IASB fair value may not be an appropriate approach for companies with a non-current asset that relying on the historical market based, and inappropriate adoption of fair value measurement could even cause an error due to unobservable information. On the other hand, fair value aims to provide most relevant information for the stakeholders,but It is expensive that fair value acquire relevant data of non-current assets in an inactive market (Christense & Nikoleav, 2011). As it mentioned above, the reliable fair value measurement which is highly verifiable is based on an active market that has a large number of transactions or many similar items present in the market. That is the reason why many companies are not attempting to use IASB fair value to measure its non-current
