The Limoncello Co. is considering whether according to IAS 36 – ‘Impairment of Assets’, any impairment loss has occurred on its major factory on the Amalfi Coast:
Current carrying value (i.e. cost less accumulated depreciation), € 80m
Value in use, € 120m
Fair value less cost of disposal, € 60m
What is the amount of the impairment loss to be recognised and what is the factory’s carrying value after the recognition of any impairment loss?Your Answer:
Impairment loss: Nil; Carrying value: € 120,000
Correct Answer:Impairment loss: Nil; Carrying value: € 80,000
The recoverable amount is exceeding the carrying value by 40,000. Do we not mention it as 120,000?
June 7, 2019 at 1:12 am #519468I mean should it not be revalued?
June 9, 2019 at 4:59 pm #520000it will only be revalued if the company use revalution model for the subsequent years.. by default assume company use cost model( cost-acc.DEP)
