IFRS 5- Carrying value

JJoshua8mo ago
Hi Tutor, Thanks for the class. Please, I am not sure why we have used 15.4 as the carrying amount instead of 13.9 and then subtracted the expense to get the fair value amount Please clarify

Company has a policy of revaluation. IFRS 5 requires that, if the policy is revaluation, you must: 1. Revalue to FV at date of classification as HFS. 2. Compare FV with FV less costs to sell - resultant loss to P&L Impact is that selling costs will go to P&L. Very irritating rule but we are stuck with it. :)
