Explanation / Answer

61. A) Recoverability test for indefinite life intangible asset is is the carrying value of assets greater than future undiscounted cash. Flows generated by asset.

Recoverability test to determine whether an impairment of a long-lived asset has occurred. If the sum of the expected future net cash flows (undiscounted) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the asset is considered impaired. If the test indicates impairment has occurred, the company then computes the amount of the impairment loss to record, based on a fair value test.

62) When computing the amount of interest cost to be capitalised,theconcept of avoidable interest refers to

B. That portion of total interest cost which would not have been incurred if expenditures for asset construction had not been made.

63. Use of the double declining method

C. Means that amount of depreciation expenses decreases year after year.

64. FAITHFUL REPRESENTATION indicates whether financial information depicts the substance of an economic event in a manner that is complete, neutral and free from error.
