Hello
My question is, in accordance with IFRS 5 the value for an asset held for sale should be the lower of:
1.its fair value less costs to sell (FVLCTS)
2.value in use (VIU)
However in the answer the comparison is being made between the FVLCTS and the historic cost less depreciation. Please advise.Link to question:

Hi,
IFRS 5 states that the asset is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value and the fair value less costs to sell.
I think you’re getting confused with IAS 36 and impairments.
Thanks
