Which of the
following statements is most accurate? The patent is impaired under:
选项:
A.IFRS only. B.U.S. GAAP only. C.both IFRS and U.S. GAAP.解释:
Under IFRS, first you must determine the recoverable amount that is the higher of:
- Value in use, which is the present value of the future cash flows: $32,000.
- Fair value less costs to sell: $34,000 - 4,000 = $30,000.
Therefore, the asset is impaired and should be written down to that amount.
Under U.S. GAAP, to assess impairment the carrying value ($36,000) is compared with the undiscounted expected future cash flows ($38,000).
In this case, the carrying value is lower, so the patent is not impaired.
