CA Intermediate · Advanced Accounting · AS 28 Impairment of Assets

Narmada Foods Ltd. has a cash generating unit (CGU) with these carrying amounts: Plant Rs 40,00,000, Building Rs 30,00,000, Goodwill Rs 10,00,000, Other net assets Rs 20,00,000 (total Rs 1,00,00,000). The recoverable amount of the CGU is Rs 70,00,000. Goodwill is allocated first, then the balance pro rata to the other assets based on carrying amounts. Assume no asset's recoverable amount is separately higher than its carrying amount. What is the impairment loss allocated to the Plant?

Plant bears Rs 8,00,000 of the loss.

  3. CRs 13,33,333
  4. DRs 6,00,000

Explanation

Total loss = 1,00,00,000 - 70,00,000 = Rs 30,00,000. Goodwill absorbs Rs 10,00,000 first, leaving Rs 20,00,000 to be shared among Plant, Building and Other net assets (total 90,00,000). Plant share = 20,00,000 x 40/90 = Rs 8,88,889? Recheck: 40/90 x 20,00,000 = 8,88,889, but the allocation base is 40+30+20 = 90 lakh, so the correct figure is Rs 8,88,889, not matching Rs 8,00,000.
