The property has been re-valued to RM500,000 with the revaluation of RM200,000 being recognised as other comprehensive income and recorded in the revaluation reserve.

Required:
What is the amount of impairment and how should this be treated in the financial statements?

Goodwill
Technology
Brands
Land
Buildings
Other net assets
RM’million
20

10
50
30
40
The recoverable value of the unit is estimated at RM85 million. The technology is worthless, following its complete failure. The other net assets include inventory, receivables and payables. It is considered that the book value of other net assets is a reasonable representation of its net realisable value.

    When we are using IFRS to examine an impairment of Eagle’s Italy building, one is recognized “if, and only if, the recoverable amount of the building is less than its carrying amount. The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss.” (IAS 36-59). In order to see if this IFRS is present we must first determine the recoverable amount, which is the higher of a cash-generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use (IAS 36-18). Therefore recoverable amount would take the highest of the $900,000 value in use and the $800,000 fair market value less costs to sell. Then IFRS can determine if there is impairment by seeing that the carrying amount of $1,100,000 is greater than the $900,000 value in use. Thus under IFRS an impairment loss of $200,000 has occurred.…

    An entity should also assess whether there is any indication that an "Component of an entity" may impair. If any such indication exists, the entity should estimate the asset's recoverable amount. The recoverable amount can be calculated as the higher of net selling price (value if sold) and value in use (prevent value of discounted expected future cash flows). Also, the operations and cash flows of the cruise ship must fulfill the following conditions.…
