The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and
equipment shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if
any, and the carrying amount of the item. (PAS 16, par 71)
5. Answer: A
Nil or Zero
Since the fair value less costs of disposal is greater than the carrying amount at
the date of reclassification, there is no impairment loss to be recognized.
An entity shall recognise an impairment loss for any initial or subsequent write-
down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell, to the
extent that it has not been recognised in accordance with paragraph 19.
(PFRS 5, par 20)
An entity shall recognise a gain for any subsequent increase in fair value less
costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of the cumulative impairment loss that
has been recognised either in accordance with this IFRS or previously in
accordance with PAS 36. (PFRS 5, par 21)
