Hi, I don't think that this is an impairment indicator. It would be if the total share price was lower. Thanks

yes, I think the same. However, the solution for the abovementioned question, says this is an indicator of impairment. So, is there any chance of a mistake from their side? This is Q46 from the BPP test kit. Thank you

It could be the case as it is not what the standard says. Thanks
