Which of the following statements about the recoverable amount used in the IFRS impairment test of a long-lived asset is false? Group of answer choices The recoverable amount is the lesser of the fair value of the asset less costs to sell or the asset's value in use. If an asset's recoverable amount is higher than the carrying amount, no impairment loss will be reported. After recognizing an impairment of an asset, the firm carries the asset at its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount may be calculated as the discounted value of expected future cash flows from the asset.
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.

7. Which of the following indicators of impairment is considered an internal source of information? a.

Significant changes in technological, market, economic or legal environment in which the entity operates or in the market to which an asset is dedicated. c. Carrying amount of the net assets is more than its market capitalization. d. Significant change with adverse effect to the entity has taken place or will take place, which will affect expected use of asset, e.g., discontinuance, disposal, restructuring plans.
Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. 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.
