Solution
Question 1
BlueWhale Ltd with its diverse business operations has identified that its retail division is a
single cash-generating unit (CGU). As at 30 June 2020, the carrying amounts of the CGU’s assets
are detailed below:
Building
Accm. Depreciation – building
Vehicle
Accm. Depreciation – vehicle
Brand name
Inventory
Goodwill
180
(80)
100
(40)
40
50
10
An independent valuer estimates the recoverable amount of the building to be $90. At 30 June
2020, based on expert prediction on market conditions and the CGU’s past performance, the
management concludes that the fair value of the CGU is around $200. Costs directly associated
with the CGU disposal is estimated at $10. The present value of net cash inflows expected to
be generated from the CGU is estimated to be $200.
For the fiscal year ending 30 June 2021, the depreciation charges on building and vehicle were
$9 and $7, respectively. If building and vehicle had not been impaired the depreciation
charges would have been $11 and $10, respectively.
At 30 June 2021, the recoverable amount of the CGU was calculated to be $13 greater than the
carrying amount of the assets of the CGU. As a result, the company recognised a reversal of the
previous year’s impairment loss.
