P2 study text , exam question bank , question 4 – Camel telecom part A
– the asset paid 344m, the market value 370 m , useful life 10 yrs. -the difference become the government grant : 26m
– the amortization : 344/10 = 34.4m less 26m/10 =2.6m , so the net : 31.8m
market value at yr end : 335m
my question is to do the impairment test at year end, why using the net book value of the asset at the yr end is 309.6m (344m-34.4m) (from the answer) ?
can i use this net book value is not 312.2m (344m -31.8m) ?
