    Hi guy please help me better understand IFRS 5

    I have an asset designated as held for sale.

    Cost = $ 1m
    Fair value less cost = $1m – $100K = $900K

    Therefore, i would measured the NCA held-for-sale at $900K

    What are the journal entries from regconising to selling the asset?
    Assume sale proceeds of $1.5m

    When Regconised
    Dr Income Statement 100K
    Cr NCA Held-for-Sale 100K

    When selling,
    Dr Expense (Cost of selling NCA Held-for-Sale) 100K
    Cr Creditor 100K

    Dr Cash 1500K
    Cr Sales 1500K

    Year-end,
    Dr Sale 1500K
    Cr Income Statement 1500K

    Dr Income Statement 900K
    Cr NCA Held-for-Sale 900K

    Dr Income Statement 100K
    Cr Expense (Cost of selling NCA Held-for-Sale) 100K

    Are these the correct journal entries?

    You seem to be going round in a big circle! What’s the matter, after the initial impairment, with Dr cash, Cr Ahfs. Then take the credit balance on Ahfa account to the Statement of Income.

    Pay the expenses of disposal Dr Expense Cr cash, then write costs of disposal off to Statement of Income

    i do not understand the bold line…i want to know about impairment loss i.e. first entry

    Dr Impairment loss 100,000
    Cr AHFS 100,000

    and then again we do the following entry

    Dr cost of disposal 100,000
    Cr Cash 100,000

    is this the thing you want to say? please help me on this

    Regards
