Impairment Pro-rata

PPE 200000 Goodwill 50000 Patent 20000 NCA 30000 Recoverable amount 200000. Can you please show me how the balance is pro-rated ? Thank You!

I presume that this is an impairment question! We have carrying values of $300,000 and a recoverable amount of $200,000 so we need to impair by $100,000 First, reduce any individual asset that is identified as being impaired - in your post, this doesn't apply Next, eliminate the intangible asset of goodwill - in full if the impairment exceeds the goodwill figure and in your example, the impairment $100,000 is greater than the goodwill balance $50,000 so that leaves us with just $50,000 more to impair NCA are always carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value (recoverable amount) so we can't impair those That leaves us with $50,000 to impair against PPE $200,000 and patent $20,000 in the ratio 200:20 or 10:1 So, of that $50,000, 10/11 x $50,000 ($45,454) is allocated against the PPE and 1/11 x $50,000 ($5,455) is allocated against the patent OK?
