Case 10-2

1. Ida needs to test the U.S. commercial building for recoverability under both U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Recoverability test is one of the requirement tests for impairment. As a result, we need to verify if impairment should be recognized. 2. The impairement is $600,000. GAAP methodology of determining impairment uses a two-step recoverability test. Step one, requires a company to estimate the future undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of that asset and its eventual disposition. If impairment has occurred, step two would determine the loss by subtracting the fair value from the carrying amount of the asset. 3. Ida should record $500,000 impairment loss on the U.S. commercial building when reporting to its parent as of December 31, 2012. Since the recoverability test is needed under IFRSs, Ida needs to figure out the amount of impairment (if any) which should record on the commercial building and report to its parent as of December 31, 2012. An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The carrying amount of Ida's building is $4,500,000, and in order to calculate the impairment loss, its recoverable amount is required. 4. A. After the impairment testing, goodwill associated with the Spanish operations impairs under GAAP as of 12/31/2010. The impairment loss is $200,000. Under U.S.GAAP, goodwill impairment test is taken annually, or when there is impairment indicator.
B. After the impairment testing, goodwill associated with the Spanish operations impairs under IFRSs as of 12/31/2012. The impairment loss is $400,000. The new carrying value of the assets is $3.1 million. The new carrying value of the CGU is $1.8 million. Goodwill acquired in a business combination shall be allocated to each of the acquirer’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash generating

    If the carrying value of the unit is less than its fair value, no impairment exists and the second step of the impairment test is not required. However, if fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, the second step of the impairment test is must be performed to determine the amount of the impairment loss. Regardless of Healthcare Depot, only two divisions of DDC Distribution Corp. and HC Holding which have excess of 5.6 millions on carrying value of its net assets and goodwill based on above table. Consequently, Healthcare Depot will have to continue in step two for comparing the implied fair value with carrying value of goodwill to determine the impairment loss.…

    When we are using IFRS to examine an impairment of Eagle’s Italy building, one is recognized “if, and only if, the recoverable amount of the building is less than its carrying amount. The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss.” (IAS 36-59). In order to see if this IFRS is present we must first determine the recoverable amount, which is the higher of a cash-generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use (IAS 36-18). Therefore recoverable amount would take the highest of the $900,000 value in use and the $800,000 fair market value less costs to sell. Then IFRS can determine if there is impairment by seeing that the carrying amount of $1,100,000 is greater than the $900,000 value in use. Thus under IFRS an impairment loss of $200,000 has occurred.…

    Ida's Impairment

    1) (1) The U.S. GAAP section 360-10-35-21 states “A long-lived asset (asset group) shall be tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable”. An example of an event like this is a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset. As stated in the case, one of Ida’s competitors sold its extremely comparable commercial building for an amount significantly less than its asking price. Since these assets are very similar in comparison, this significantly less price for the competitor’s building is an example of a decrease in the market price of Ida’s commercial building. Therefore under the U.S. GAAP, Ida needs to test the U.S. commercial building for recoverability. (2) Under IAS 36.12, there are certain external factors that lead you to want to test for recovery such as a decline in market value. The sale of the building across the street is an example of one of those external factors. IAS 36.6 explains impairment and how to record impairment. Under IFRSs IAS 36.66, the recoverable amount of cash-generating units (CGUs) should be determined for the individual asset. Therefore, a recoverability test must be done.…
