Wiley IFRS: Practical Implementation Guide and Workbook

On moving to accounting under IFRS, some of the assets had been transferred at deemed cost and had not been remeasured under IFRS. These assets were propert y, plant, and equipment, and inventory. Un– der IFRS , property, plant, and equipment would be stated at $16 million and inventory stated at $9 mil– lion . The fair value less costs to sell of the disposal group is $25 million. Assume that the disposal group qualifie s as held for sale. Therefore, under lAS 36, any impairment loss will be alloca ted to goodwi ll and PPE.

IFRS 5 requires that, immed iately before the initial classification of the disposal group as held for sale, the carrying amounts of the disposal group be measured in accordance with applicable IFRS and any profit or loss dealt with under those IFRS. The reduction in the carrying amount of property, plant, and equipment will be dealt with in acco rdance with lAS 16; the inventory will be dealt with in accordance with lAS 2. After the remeasurement, the entity will recognize an impairment loss of $9 million. This loss is allo– cated in accordance with lAS 36. Thu s goodwill will be reduced to zero and property, plant, and equip– ment to $13 million. The loss will be charged aga inst profit or loss. If not separately presented on the face of the income statement, the caption in the income statement that includes the loss should be dis– closed. The major classes of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale should be separately disclosed on the face of the balance sheet or in the notes. In this case there would be separate disclosure of the disposal group:
