in calculating an impairment loss, which TWO of the following are correct? Assets should be carried at the higher of their carrying amount and recoverable amount Recoverable amount is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal Recoverable amount is the lower of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal Assets should be carried at the lower of their carrying amount and recoverable amount
What is an impairment loss? 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

The main objective of IAS 36 Impairment of Assets is to prescribe the procedures that should ensure that an entity's assets are included in its statement of financial position at no more than their recoverable amounts. Where an asset is carried at an amount in excess of its recoverable amount, it is said to be impaired and IAS 36 requires an impairment loss to be recognized. Required: Define an impairment loss explaining the relevance of fair value less costs to sell and value in use and state how frequently assets should be tested for impairment. 2. Describe the possible incators of impairment. 3. Explain how an impairment loss is accounted for after it has been calculated.
