Hajia Timber Ltd (GTL) produces and exports lumber and planks. It owns a plant whichhas value of GHC 1,800,000 as at 1 January 2010. The government of Ghana,passes alegislation that restricts the exportation of lumber. Consequently GTL has to reduceproduction by 40%. Cash flow forecast for the next five years included in the budgetsubmitted for management approval in January 2010 shows the following:Year Cash flows (GHC)2010 552,0002011 506,0002012 376,0002013 250,0002014 560,000The cashflow forecast for 2014 includes expected proceeds from disposal of the plant. Thecash flow projections also ignore the effects general upwards movement in prices.It is estimated that if the plant is sold in January 2010, it would realize the net proceeds ofGHC 1,320,000. The costs of capital for GBL is 15% (ignoring inflationary effect)RequiredCalculate the recoverable amount of the plant and impairment loss (if any).
