    1. Parent acquired 100% of SUB on 1 January 2016 for $ 850 when the net asset was $ 800 resulted in a Goodwill of $ 50.

    Parent has decided to sell the SUB and recognized it as “Disposal Group” (Criteria was met) at the year-end on 31 Dec 2017. The carrying value (CV) of the SUB on 31 Dec 2017 was as below

    PPE $ 1,000
    Intangibles (without Goodwill) $ 500
    Current Assets (CA) $ 300
    NCL $ (700)
    Current Liabilities (CL) $ (200)

    Net Asset (NA) $ 900

    2. One of the plant with a CV of $ 300 has a FV less cost to sell (FVLCTS) $ 320 on 31 Dec 2017.
    3. The recoverable amount (RA) of the SUB on 31 Dec 2017 was $ 920.

    Question: How the above adjustments would be treated in the Consolidated SOFP…..

    I have done the adjustments as follows, can you confirm me or correct my mistakes…

    My adjustmens

    1. Impairments [900 (NA) + 50 (Goodwill) – 920 (RA)] = $ 30

    Impairment is charged against the NCA, as impairment of a “Disposal Group” is FIRST charged against the NCA not Goodwill ….
    NCA = [1000 (PPE) + 500 (Intangibles) – 30 (Imp)] = $ 1470.

    2. The plant value of $ 320 (FVLCTS) is not considered here as the “Discontinued Operation” or “Disposal Group” is recorded at the lower of CV and FVLCTS.

    3. Presentation
    Disposal Group (NCA) = $ 1470.
    Disposal Group (CA) = $ 300.
    Disposal Group (NCL) = $ 700.
    Disposal Group (CL) = $ 200

    Hi,

    The impairment will go against goodwill first, and not against the non-current assets. Why do you think it should go against the non-current assets first?

    You’re correct that the plant of $320 is not impaired.

    Thanks

    Hello
    Thanks for your response.
    In a past question named “Rockby” (ACCA June 2004) there was a “Disposal Group” with impairment.
    The examiner’s answer included a line as follows…
    “Unlike IAS 36, any impairment loss will be offset first against the non-current assets of the subsidiary.”
    That’s why I thought the impairment would go against the NCA first, but I never verified my understanding… probably I am wrong…
    ..
    And
    Is my presentation in the above correct or it should have been like the following..
    ..
    After the current asset
    Disposal Group (1470+300)………. = $ 1770m
    After the current liability
    Disposal Group (700+200)………… = $ 900m

    Thanks….

    Hi,

    The presentation is after the current assets and liabilities as the assets and liabilities are no longer non-current.

    Thanks
