Hi,
The impairment took place on 1 April X9 which is six months into the year, hence the six months of depreciation.
Thanks

It would have been charged but the question asks for the carrying value at the reporting date. Remember that there has been an impairment, so the carrying value at the reporting date will be the impaired value less the depreciation charged since that date.
Any depreciation charged prior to this is not relevant to calculating the carrying value at the reporting date.
