Answer to question 4:

11CORPORATE ACCOUNTING
Part –II
Sub part 1:
Impairment test is the valuation of intangible and intangible assets. Tangible and
intangible assets are carried on in the books of accounts at its historical costs. After a certain
period of time the value of the assets or the net realizable value of the assets may not be the as it
is being carried forward in the books of accounts. Therefore, to show the actual value of the
assets and the true financial position of the business it is necessary to conduct the impairment test
for assets and revalue those assets to their fair value or the net realizable value (Devalle and
Rizzato 2017).
Sub part 2:
Impairment testing is conducted to ascertain the net realizable value of assets or the fair
value of assets. The fair value of assets so ascertained might be more than the carrying value or it
might be lesser than the carrying value of the respective assets. If the fair value of assets so
determined by the impairment testing is higher than the carrying value of the assets, then, the
difference amount is recognized as a gain on valuation of assets, it affects the income in profit
and loss account, and the value of assets is restated to its fair value in the balance sheet. On the
other hand, if the fair value so ascertained is less than the carrying value of the assets, then the
difference is recognized as a fair value loss and recognized as a loss in the profit and loss
account, and in the same way the value of assets is restated in the balance sheet. Hence, the
impairment testing is having effect in both the profit and loss account and the balance sheet
(Bond Govendir and Wells 2016).
