An entity purchases all the shares of a haulage company for $50,000 on 1 January 20X0. The operation consists of an operating licence with a fair value of $10,000 and 5 wagons each with a fair value of $6000. On 5 January 20X0, one of the wagons crashed and the insurance company refused to pay out due to the non-disclosure of certain material facts. The wagon was a write-off. The adverse publicity and operating capacity reduction, reduced the recoverable amount of the business to $25,000. This amount includes the operating license which had a fair value less costs to sell of $9,500. What is the carrying amount of the assets after accounting for the impairment losses under IAS 36 Impairment of Assets?
