Vanguard Company acquired a depreciable asset on 1 July 2017 for $500,000, paid in cash. The asset was estimated to have a useful life of ten years and was depreciated on a straight-line basis. Vanguard chose the cost model for accounting for assets in this class. Disposal value at the end of the useful life is zero. Indicators of impairment have been identified for the reporting periods ended 30 June 2018, while indicators for a reversal of impairment have been identified for the reporting period ended 30 June 2019. There was no change in the estimated useful life or the disposal value of the equipment.

The recoverable amounts of the depreciable asset on these days were as follows:

Notes

Impairment loss

An impairment loss is recognized through a journal entry that debits Loss on Impairment, debits the asset's Accumulated Depreciation and credits the Asset to reflect its new lower value.

Reversal of impairment loss

If due to any event the impaired asset regains its value the gain is recorded in income statement to the extent of original impairment loss and any excess is considered a revaluation and is credited to revaluation surplus.
