    “Question:

    Plethora owns a retail business, which is considered a separate cash-generating unit, which suffered a difficulty trading period in the previous year and was subject to an impairment review at 31 December 20X8. At that date, an impairment loss of $160,000 was recognized. The directors of Plethora Plc believe the indicators of impairment have been reversed by 31 December 20X9 and wish to reverse the previous impairment to the maximum extent possible.

    Relevant financial information in respect of the retail business is as follows:
    CV at 31.12.20X8 before impairment:
    Assets
    Building 900
    Plant and equipment 300
    Goodwill 40

    Impairment loss at 31.12.20X8:
    Assets
    Building 100
    Plant and equipment 20
    Goodwill 40

    Estimated FV at 31.12.20X9:
    Assets
    Building 925
    Plant and equipment 310
    Goodwill 60

    CV at 31.12.20X9 had no impairment occurred:
    Assets
    Building 875
    Plant and equipment 290
    Goodwill 40

    53.
    What will be the amount credited to the statement of profit or loss in respect of the reversal of impairment loss in the year ended 31 December 20X9?
    a – $215,000;
    b – $155,000;
    c – $125,000;
    d – $85,000.”

    Hello tutor,

    I have been trying to solve this question, but normally, there is a carrying amount of the assets after impairment (which take consideration of the depreciation amount). With that and the accumulative depreciation we can compare and get the profit or loss to be recorded in SPL. But in this case, they did not provide with the carrying amount after impairment, and I got stuck there. Can you please help?

    Thank you tutor!

    Hi,

    Can you not get the value after the impairment by deducting the original impairment from the carrying value before the impairment took place?

    Thanks
