    Tinto Ltd has a division with the following assets:

    £’000
    Assets
    Goodwill 100
    Patents 200
    Machines 300
    Computers 500
    Buildings 1,500
    Land 800
    Total=3,400
    This division is operated as a CGU. There was an explosion in the division’s
    factory before the end of the financial year. Half of the machines were
    destroyed and but the other half, however, can be sold for at least their book
    value.
    An impairment review also reveals that the net selling price of the entire
    division is £2,300,000 and its value in use is £2,750,000. The land has a net
    selling price of £900,000 at the year end. Patents have no resale value and
    are considered worthless after the explosion.

    Requirement:
    a. Calculate the revised carrying amount of the assets for this CGU taking into
    account the impairment loss incurred during the year.
    (10 marks)
    b. Indicate and explain what internal and external factors a company would
    normally consider when carrying out an impairment review?
    (5 marks)
    Total 15 marks

    I am stuck in question A I started it but lost with how to allocate the impairment loss which is 650000.
