Study Notes
Asset Impairment
- Impairment occurs when an asset's market value falls, making its recoverable amount less than its carrying amount in the financial statement.
- An asset should not be carried above its recoverable amount, as per an established principle.
Indications of Impairment
- External sources indicating possible impairment include:
- Market value declines
- Negative changes in technology, markets, economy, or law
- Other indications may also be considered.
Cash Flow Projections
- Cash flow projections should be based on the most recent budgets or financial forecasts up to five years, unless justified.
- Projections beyond five years should be estimated by extrapolating the five-year projections using a steady or declining growth rate each subsequent year, unless an increasing rate can be justified.
Recoverable Amount
- The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less cost of disposal or value in use.
- Fair value is categorized into a hierarchy of inputs under PFRS 13:
- Quoted prices in an active market for identical assets
- Observable inputs either directly or indirectly
- Unobservable inputs
Recognition of Impairment Loss
- Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
- The impairment loss is recorded as an expense.
Cost of Disposal
- Cost of disposal is an incremental cost directly attributable to the disposal of an asset or cash-generating units, excluding finance costs and income tax expenses.
Reversal of Impairment Loss
- Impairment losses recognized in prior years can be reversed if there is a change in the estimate of the recoverable amount.
- Reversal of impairment loss on a revalued asset is credited to income to the extent that it reverses a previous revaluation decrease, with any excess credited directly to the revaluation surplus.
Journal Entries for Reversal of Impairment Loss
- Journal entries for the reversal of an impairment loss include:
- Debit: Accumulated depreciation
- Credit: Gain on reversal of impairment loss
