I think the asset will be recorded as its Fair Market Value, by debiting Fixed Asset & Crediting Other Revenue.

If a company has received the gift, I think there's no need to compute and record the depreciation.

 

Thank you for your invitation :)

I think IAS 20 should apply and be treated as donated asset ( Deferred Income) because you are not giving anything back in reciprocal... you debit the appropriate asset account and credit Donated Capital account... this will be adjusted to P/L to reduce the donated capital account and recognise it as other income on P/L
