A ) The amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the book value B ) The amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the recoverable amount C ) The difference between the fair value of an asset and the net realisable value of the asset D ) The amount by which the market value of an asset exceeds the net present value
Which of the following refers to the similarity between the U.S. GAAP and IFRS regarding accounting for Long-Lived Assets? Depreciation is based on the fair value of assets. An impairment loss occurs if the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, defined as the higher of the asset’s fair value (less costs to sell) and its value in use, which is the discounted net cash flows. For the purposes of determination which expenses may be capitalized, Research and Development expenditures are treated differently. Intangible assets are acquired at amortized cost.
Once an asset has been determined to be impaired, the amount of impairment is measured as: The asset's cost minus the fair value The asset's future cash inflows minus the book value The asset's book value minus the fair value The asset's cost minus the book value
An asset is considered impaired if: O the fair market value of the asset exceeds the carrying value of the asset O the future estimated cash inflows are less than the carrying value of the asset O the future estimated cash inflows are less than the fair market value of the asset the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair market value of the asset

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?
