Caracas Company determined that due to obsolescence an equipment
with an original cost of P4,500,000 and accumulated depreciation on
January 1, 2020 of P2,100,000 had suffered a permanent impairment
loss, and as a result, should have a recoverable amount of only
P1,500,000 as of the beginning of the year.
In addition, the remaining useful life of the equipment was reduced

from 8 to 3 years.

In January 2018, Bogota Company purchased equipment at a cost of
P2,500,000. The equipment has a residual value of P500,000, a useful
life of 8 years and is depreciated by the straight line method. Two years
later, it became apparent that this equipment suffered permanent
impairment in value.

Quito Company reported an impairment loss of P2,000,000 in the income
statement for the year ended December 31, 2020. This loss was related to
long -lived asset acquired on January 1, 2019 with cost of P10,000,000,
useful life of 10 years and no residual value.
On December 31, 2020, the entity reported the long -lived asset at
P6,000,000 which is the fair value less cost of disposal on such date.
On December 31, 2021, the entity determined that the fair value less
cost of disposal of the impaired long-lived asset had increased to
P7,500,000. The straight line depreciation is recorded for the impaired
asset.

Lima Company purchased four convenience store buildings on January
1, 2014 for a total cost of P25,000,000. The buildings have been
depreciated using the straight line method with a 20-year useful life and
10% residual value. On January 1, 2020, the entity has converted the
building into a hotel and restaurant.
The entity estimated that the buildings have a remaining
useful life of 10 years, that their residual value will be zero,
that net cash inflows from the building will total P1,500,000
per year, and that the fair value less cost of disposal of the
four buildings totals P10,000,000. The appropriate discount
rate is 12%.

San Salvador Company acquired a machine for P3,200,000 on August 31,
2017. The machine has a 5-year useful life, a P500,000 residual value, and was
depreciated using the straight line method.
On May 31, 2020, a test for recoverability revealed that the expected net future
undiscounted cash inflows related to the continued use and eventual disposal
of the machine amount to P1,500,000. The fair value less cost of disposal of
the machine on May 31, 2020 is P1,350,000 with no residual value.
What is the depreciation of the machine
for June 2020?

The UNDISCOUNTED net cash inflows cannot be considered as VIU. Since discount rate is not
available, VIU cannot be determined. Thus, the FVLCOD is the RA.

Problem 18

Puerto Rico Company had an equipment with a carrying amount of
P450,000 at year-end. The following information was available at year-end:
Expected undiscounted net cash flows 420,000

Expected discounted net cash flows 400,000
Fair value, using similar asset 415,000
Fair value, assuming the asset is
sold stand-alone 428,000
What is the impairment loss that should be reported in the
income statement for the current year?

Problem 19

On January 1, 2017, Uruguay Company purchased equipment for
P5,600,000. The equipment had an 8-year useful life and residual value of
P800,000. The entity depreciated the equipment using the straight line
method.
In August 2020, the entity questioned the recoverability of the carrying

amount of the equipment.
On August 31, 2020, the discounted expected net future cash
inflows related to the continued use and eventual disposal of
the equipment total P3,500,000.
The fair value less cost of disposal of the equipment on such
date is P3,000,000.
After any loss on impairment has been recognized, what is the
carrying amount of the equipment?

8 yrs x 12 mos = 96 mos ; 1/1/17 to 8/31/20 is 44 mos.

Problem 20

At the beginning of current year, Paraguay Company acquired another entity
in a business combination.
As a result of the combination, the following amounts of goodwill were

recorded for each of the three reporting units of the acquiree:
Retailing 300,000
Service 200,000
Financing 400,000
Near the end of current year, a new major competitor entered the entity’s
market, and the entity was concerned that this might cause a significant
decline in the value of goodwill.
Accordingly, the entity computed the implied value of the goodwill for the
three major reporting units at year-end as follows:
Retailing 250,000
Service 100,000
Financing 600,000
a. What is the impairment of goodwill
attributable to Retailing unit?

CA of Goodwill Implied value of Impairment loss

Retailing 300,000 250,000 50,000
Service 200,000 100,000 100,000
Financing 400,000 600,000 none
* The RA of Goodwill as an individual asset cannot be determined since

Goodwill does not generate CF independently from other assets or group of
assets.
b. What is the impairment of goodwill
attributable to Service unit?

100,000
c. What is the impairment of goodwill
attributable to Financing unit?

0 or none
Problem 21

Problem 22

Brazil Company provided the following calculation about an impairment
loss recognized on December 31, 2020:
Goodwill Other assets
Carrying amount 3,000,000 9,000,000
Impairment loss (3,000,000) (2,000,000)
Adjusted carrying amount - 7,000,000
There has been a favorable change in the estimate of the recoverable
amount of the net assets since the impairment loss was recognized. The
recoverable amount is now P8,000,000 on December 31, 2021.
The carrying amount of the assets would have been P7,200,000 on

December 31, 2021 if there was no impairment loss recognized on
December 31, 2020. Assets are depreciated at 20% reducing balance.
What amount should be recognized as gain on
reversal of impairment for 2021?

Problem 24 : Impairment of revalued asset ; Reversal of
impairment

On January 1, 2016, the revaluation of Haiti Company shows the following :
Machinery, cost 7,500,000
10-year life, 4 years expired
Sound value 7,200,000
On December 31, 2018, three years after the revaluation, an impairment
of the machinery is indicated and the recoverable amount (FVLCOD) is
1,575,000.
In 2019, there is a reversal of impairment related to machinery.
On December 31, 2019, the recoverable amount (FVLCOD) is
1,800,000.
a. What is the piecemeal realization of revaluation
surplus on December 31, 2016?

Revaluation surplus 75,000
750 T – 675 T
*This was the amount of Impairment loss recorded on 12/31/18. Gain is limited to this amount; the excess
is credited to Revaluation surplus.
THIS PROBLEM IS DIFFERENT FROM REVERSAL OF IMPAIRMENT ONLY ; THIS IS REVERSAL

OF IMPAIRMENT OF AN ASSET THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY REVALUED.
Any reversal of an impairment loss on

a revalued asset shall be treated as a
revaluation increase 
REMEMBER
 credited to income to the extent that
it reverses a previous revaluation
decrease, and any excess credited
directly to revaluation surplus
