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).

Sub part 3:
As can be seen from the 2018 annual report of Myer Ltd, the value of goodwill as on 29 th
July 2017 is $492.13 million and it reduced to $465.03 million. It can be observed from the notes
to the consolidated financial statement for intangible assets, the value of goodwill has been
reduced only for the impairment of goodwill, they have amortized the value of goodwill within
the period 29th July 2017 to 28th July 2018. The decrease in value of goodwill might be because
of fall in market share and popularity in the market.
Sub part 4:
In the same accounting period, the brand name and trademarks, software and exchange
differences have been impaired.
Sub part 5:
In conducting the impairment test, the remaining value of assets is considered and a
suitable discount rate is taken for discounting the future profitability of the assets. If the discount
rate increases, then the present value of such assets decreases and the value of assets decreases,
and if the discount rate is decreased then the computed fair value of the assets increases. Hence,
there is a direct impact of change in discount rate on the impairment testing of assets and the fair
value of the assets (Henderson et al 2015).
Sub part 6:
After the impairment testing is conducted the value of assets and the remaining life of the
assets is revised in the books of accounts. IAS136 prohibits reversal of impairment, hence after
the impairment is conducted and the respective effects have been given in the books of accounts,
it cannot be revised (Bond Govendir and Wells 2016).
