Reversal of Impairment

Dear Sir, I have a question concerning Plothera Case in BPP Kit 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 Let’s take a Building as an example: – Building Recoverable amount at 31/12/X8 = 900-100= 800. Since it is less than the CA, we should record the Building-CA on the SoFP at 31/12/X8 = 800. – At 31/12/X9, the recoverable amount was higher -> Indication of reversal. However, we can only reverse the the maximum of carrying amount at 31/12/X9 if no impairment occurred (which is 875) – In the BPP answer, the reversal amount = 875-800 =75. However, I think the reversal should have been higher as we had to deduct the new depreciation from the CA of 800?
