    Hi,
    In section 8.5.5, example 18 in the Study Hub, it says that the carrying amount of the bond would increase by $43,641 & this amount would be shown in SOFP as “Loss Allowance” and as “Impairment Gain” in SOPL.
    My question is, how can a GAIN in carrying value be shown as a Loss Allowance? And what exactly is Impairment Gain?
    Many Thanks 🙂

    is this like a reversal of impairment ?

    so its reversing the previous expenditure.

    Okay, but as per what I understand, loss allowance is like a provision which is supposed to be created against the Assets. Then why is here a gain in Fair Value of the asset being shown as Loss Allowance?

    If a loss allowances REDUCES, there would be an impairment gain.
