    Hello tutor

    I would like to know what is the secret behind taking higher off between ( VIU and Recov amount)

    for calculating the impairment ( for subsidiary or an associate)

    Is it a rule ? or there is something special about it ?

    my second question is
    why Associate is treated as an asset in the SOFP ?

    If ViU is greater – management would decide to keep the asset.
    If the recoverable amount is greater – management would decide to sell it.

    Taking the higher amount reflects the economic benefits “embodied” in the value which is consistent with how those benefits are expected to be received – through keeping and using – or through selling.

    An associate is an investment – this is assumed knowledge of FA (F3).
