Chapter 11 completes the discussion of accounting for property, plant and equipment, investment property and intangible assets by addressing the subsequent valuation and allocation of the value of these assets to the periods benefitted by their use. Expenditures subsequent to acquisition and impairment are also covered in this chapter.

55 Measurement of an impairment loss is a two-step process In step one the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its book value A loss is indicated if the fair value is less than the book value In step two, the impairment loss is calculated as the excess of book value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill • Measurement of an impairment loss is a one-step process The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is compared to its book value If the recoverable amount is less, goodwill is reduced before other assets are reduced Assets Held for Sale Assets held for sale include assets that management has committed to sell immediately in their present condition and for which sale within one year Is highly probable Impairment loss 11 -
