Explanation / Answer

for calculation of inpairment loss

impairment loss = (carrying amount - recoverable amount)

carrying amount = that is book value after depriciation

recoverable amount = net selling price or value in use which ever is higher

= impairment loss on barnacles

IL = (285000-260000)

IL=25000

that is adjusted to goodwill

1. profit and loss a/c dr 25000

to impairment loss 25000

2.impairment loss a/c dr 25000

to goodwill a/c 25000

= impairment loss on pingu

IL = (325000-297500)

IL= 27500

1.profit and loss a/c dr 27500

to impairment loss dr 27500

2. impairment loss a/c dr 27500

to good will a/c 15000

to plant & eq. a/c 5040

to land and building a/c 7460
