AS36 Impairments

Aali7y ago
Reference to the book of OT example 3 $2.4 million (goodwill) - $0.5 million (patent)) Should it be -1.5? Instead of -0.5. Because we are getting $1.5m because someone else is purchasing it. so the impairment loss would be 0.5. But we are collecting the amount we're going to get? i guess.

No, the patent is reduced to 1.5 and so there is a 0.5 reduction that we then use when working out how much of the total impairment has been reduced. Thanks
