CMA Final · Corporate Financial Reporting · Impairment of Assets (Ind AS 36)

Kaveri Ltd. has a cash-generating unit with these carrying amounts: goodwill Rs 20 lakh, plant Rs 60 lakh, building Rs 40 lakh, total Rs 120 lakh. The recoverable amount of the unit is Rs 90 lakh. Under Ind AS 36, what is the carrying amount of the plant after allocating the impairment loss? Assume no asset falls below its own recoverable amount.

After writing goodwill off first, the remaining Rs 10 lakh loss is shared pro rata, and the plant's carrying amount comes to Rs 54 lakh.

  1. ARs 45 lakh
  2. BRs 52.5 lakhCorrect
  3. CRs 50 lakh
  4. DRs 40 lakh

Explanation

Total loss = 120 - 90 = Rs 30 lakh. Goodwill is reduced first by Rs 20 lakh, leaving Rs 10 lakh to allocate pro rata to plant and building in the ratio 60:40. Plant bears Rs 6 lakh, so its carrying amount is 60 - 6 = Rs 54 lakh. Checking: building bears Rs 4 lakh, giving 36, and 54 + 36 = 90, which equals the recoverable amount. Of the options, the one matching the correct working is 54, but 54 is not listed, so recheck the options.
