Brickell Corporation purchased a new machinery at the beginning of 2020 at a cost of $200,000. The machinery is expected to have a useful life of 10 years and no residual value. The straight-line method of depreciation is used. Adverse economic conditions develop in 2022 that result in a significant decline in demand for Brickell’s products. At December 31, 2022 the company develops the following estimates related to the machinery:
• Expected future cash flows: $150,000
• PV of expected future cash flows: $110,000
• Selling price: $140,000
• Cost of disposal: $14,000
At the end of 2024, Brickell’s management determines that there has been a substantial improvement in economic outlook, resulting in a strengthening of demand for Brickell’s products. The following estimates related to the machinery are developed at December 31, 2024:
• Expected future cash flows: $140,000
• PV of expected future cash flows: $106,000
• Selling price: $100,000
• Cost of disposal: $14,000
Required:
1. Determine the carrying amounts for the machinery reported on the balance sheet at the end of years 2020-2024 and the amounts to be reported in the income statement related to the machinery for years 2020-2024.
This question has been answered in accordance with IFRS. In case if the answer is required as per US GAAP, please let us know.
Year 2020
Deprication in Income Statement = 200,000/10= 20,000
Carrying value = 200,000-20,000 = 180,000
Year 2021
Deprication in Income Statement = 200,000/10= 20,000
Carrying value = 180,000-20,000 = 160,000
Year 2022
Deprication in Income Statement = 200,000/10= 20,000
Impairment in Income statement- 14,000.
If Carrying value(140,000)>Assets recoverable amount,there is a impairment loss. Assets recoverable amount is greater of following-
Therefore 126,000 is asset recoverable amount. Since, Carrying value (140,000)> asset recoverable amount(126,000), there is an impairment loss of 140,000 - 126,000= 14,000.
Carrying value =160,000-20,000-14,000=126000
Year 2023
Deprication in Income Statement= 126,000/7= 18000
Carrying value = 126,000-18000= 108,000
Year 2024
Deprication in Income Statement= 126,000/7= 18000
Reversal of impairment loss in Income statement = On reversal, the asset’s carrying amount is increased, but not above the amount that it would have been without the prior impairment loss
If no impairment loss was recognised in year 2022, the carrying value of machine would have been 100,000.The carrying value on December 31, 2024 after considering deprication is 108,000-18000=90,000. The assets value in use is 106,000.
Therefore, the maximum reversal that can be done in Income Statement is 10,000.
Carrying value = 108000-18000+10000= 100,000
