A loss on impairment on a limited life intangible asset is the difference between the asset’s Select one: carrying value and its undiscounted expected future net cash flows. fair value and its net realizable value. fair value and its discounted expected future net cash flows. carrying value and its fair value.
Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the sum of the expected future cash flows from the use of that asset. Answer The economic performance of an asset being worse than expected can be viewed as an external indicator of impairment of asset values for property, plant and equipment. Answer Under IFRS, an impairment loss can be reversed when estimates change.
Property, Plant and Equipment We review long-lived assets for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable based on the undiscounted future cash flows. If the carrying amount of the asset is determined not to be recoverable, a write-down to fair value is recorded. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows, or external appraisals, as appropriate.

Which of the following is a CORRECT statement about long-term asset impairment? A. Under U.S. GAAP, an asset that has been written down because of impairment can be written back up if it increases in value in the future. B. An asset is impaired if the net book value is less than the expected future cash flows. C. If an asset is impaired, the expected future cash flows will exceed the fair value of the asset. D. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the net book value and the fair value.
In a replacement analysis, the market value of the currently owned asset a. does not impact the cash flows of the replacement asset(s) in the opportunity cost approach b. does not impact the cash flows of the current asset in the cash flow approach if the current asset is kept c. is treated as a salvage value for the current asset in the cash flow approach if the current asset is kept d. is added to the first cost of the replacement asset(s) in the opportunity cost approach.
It is the gradual diminution of the useful value of tangible property resulting from wear and tear and normal obsolescence. It is also applied to the amortization of intangible assets the use of which in the trade or business is definitely limited in duration. Group of answer choices Depreciation Depletion Obsolescence Bad debts
What is the nature of the recoverability test for indefinite-life intangible assets? Group of answer choices There is no recoverability test for indefinite-life intangible assets. Is the carrying value of the asset greater than the sum of future discounted cash flows generated by the asset? Is the carrying value of the asset greater than the fair value of the asset? Is the carrying value of the asset greater than the sum of undiscounted future cash flows generated by the asset?
Under the historical accounting system, depreciation is calculated on the original cost of fixed assets with the result that only an amount equivalent to the original cost of the fixed assets is available for its replacement when its life is over. This results in which of the following problem? a. Mixing up of the holding gains and operating gains b. Fixed assets values are unrealistic c. Return on capital employed misleading d. Insufficient provision of depreciation
What element must be present when determining if an asset is a depreciating asset? a. An asset that holds its value for a period of time or increases in value for a period. b. An asset that has a limited effective life. c. A fixture that completely loses its value. d. An asset that cannot reasonably be expected to decline in value over time.
In accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, which one of the following is an indicator that an asset may be impaired? a. evidence that the asset is physically damaged b. a fall in interest rates that materially affects the asset’s value in use c. the market capitalisation of the entity is greater than the carrying amount of its net assets d. a decline in the asset’s market value, as would be expected from normal use
State which statement is true or false The declining-balance method does not deduct the residual value in computing the depreciation base. The recoverable amount used to impairment test a long-lived tangible asset is defined as the asset’s fair value less costs to sell. After an impairment loss is recorded, the recoverable amount becomes the basis for the impaired asset and is used to calculate depreciation in future periods. Land acquired for resale or disposal is more appropriately classified as inventory rather than property, plant and equipment. The impairment test for goodwill is conducted based on the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill has been assigned. After an impairment loss is recorded for goodwill, the recoverable amount becomes the basis for the impaired asset and is used to calculate amortization in future periods. Internally generated goodwill associated with a business may be recorded as an asset when a firm offer to purchase that business unit has…
