    Hi Mike,
    This question is form open tuition notes mini questions.

    MY question is how did we arrive at 4500 as impairment loss.
    recoverable amount is 15m (purchase price offer)
    value in use is 12m 3 year of life left

    Thanks.
    here is the question.
    Qestion 6 Extracts from trial balance at 30 September, 2009
    Freehold property at cost 1.10.2000 63,000
    Plant and equipment at cost 42,200
    Brand at cost 1.10.2005 30,000
    Accum depreciation 1.10.08 building 8,000
    Accum depreciation 1.10.08
    plant 19,700
    Accum amortisation 1.10.08 brand 9,000

    Prepare the workings for the non-current assets’ depreciation, amortisation and impairment for inclusion within the 2009 financial statements as appropriate

    The freehold property has a land element of $13 million. The building element is being depreciated on a straight-line basis. Plant and equipment is depreciated at 40% per annum using the reducing balance method.

    The brand in the trial balance relates to a product line that received bad publicity during the year which led to falling sales revenues. An impairment review was conducted on 1 April 2009 which concluded that, based on estimated future sales, the brand had a value in use of $12 million and a remaining life of only three years. However, on the same date as the impairment review, the company received an offer to purchase the brand for $15 million. Prior to the impairment review, it was being depreciated using the straight-line method over a 10-year life. No depreciation/amortisation has yet been charged on any non-current asset for the year ended 30 September 2009. Depreciation, amortisation and impairment charges are all charged to cost of sales.

    Amortisation of a $30 million brand over 10 years straight line = $3,000 per annum

    The impairment review was carried out half way through the year to 30 September, 2009 so there is $1,500 to amortise in the 6 month period from 1 October, 2008 to date of impairment review of 31 March, 2009

    As at 1 October, 2008 the brand had a cost of $30,000 and accumulated amortisation as at that date of $9,000 = an aggregate carrying value of $21,000

    Following the amortisation of $1,500 for the 6 months to 31 March, 2009 the brand now has a carrying value of $19,500

    And there is a net realisable value given of $15,000

    Where do we get the impairment of $4,500 from?
