An entity purchases 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 settle any liability 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?
Goodwill = NIL, Licence = NIL & Wagons = $25,000
Goodwill=NIL, Licence = $9,500 & Wagons = $15,500
Goodwill=$10,000, Licence = $9,500 & Wagons = $5,500
Goodwill=$5,000, Licence = $5,000 & Wagons = $15,000
