Q

What are some examples of indicators of impairment under IAS 36?

A

-Significant decrease in market price.
- Adverse change in technological, market, economic, or legal environment.
- Carry amount > market capitalization.
- Obsolescence or physical damage.
- Cash flow issues.

17
Q

How is recoverable amount determined under IAS 36?

A

It is the higher of:
Fair Value less costs to sell.
Value in use (discounted cash flow)

18
Q

How is inventory valued under IAS 2

A

Valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV). NRV is the estimated selling price less cost of completion.

Measured at the more reliably measurable fair value of the asset given up and the fair value of the asset received, unless:

What is the rule for accepting a project based on Internal Rate of Return (IRR)?
Accept the project if IRR > minimum required rate of return (typically cost of capital).
