Dear Mike, Please explain the following how they calculated.
C.V of Assets:
Building 900
P&E 300
Inventory 70
Other C.A 130
Goodwill 40The C.V value of CGU is 1,440 while the Recoverable Value is 1300.
MCQs.
1. What is the C.V of Inventory after adjusting Impairment loss?
• 64,000
• 70,000
• NIL
• 65,0002. What is the C.V of building after adjusting Impairment loss?
• 900,000
• 836,000
• 795,000
• 825,000for question 1 the correct option is NIL, so if we can not pass losses to Inventory then why we include it in CGU C.V (1,440)
for Question 2 the correct answer is D while i calculated as :
C.V of CGU = 1440
Recov. Value = 1300Loss will be (1,440 – 1,300) = 140
C.V of Goodwill = 40
now after adjusting first against Goodwill the Remaining loss will be (140 – 40 ) = 100
now against building : (900/1400)x100 = 64.28
C.V of Building after adjusting Loss = (900-64.2) = 835.71
November 13, 2016 at 8:31 am #348678Here’s your error in the second question:
“(900/1400)x100 = 64.28”
The allocation of the remaining $100 after eliminating the goodwill (and we can’t touch the inventory nor the other current assets because they are already stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value) is against the building and the PPE in proportionate shares
So the element of $100 impairment related to the building is 900/1,200 x $100 = $75 and a resultant impaired carrying value of $825
There are two possible explanations for the answer in the first question:
a) You have copied the question down incorrectly and “What is the C.V of Inventory after adjusting Impairment loss?” should read “By how much should the carrying value of the inventory be impaired?” in which case the answer will be $Nil, or
b) The printed solution is incorrect and the option selected should be $70,000
OK?
November 13, 2016 at 10:40 am #348706Thanx Mr. Mike…. Now i understood the logic …..
