68
Q

How we tested for impairment an intangible asset with finite live?

A

In two steps:
1-The carrying amount of the asset is compare to the sum of undiscounted cash flow expected to result from the use of the asset (si el flujo de efectivo es menos quiere decir que usted no va a poder recuperar el carrying value por lo que perdió valor)- si es así procedemos al segundo paso
2- We compare what is the value of the intangible in the market with the amount in our records. If it so, the asset is impaired and the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value.

69
Q

how we tested for impairment an intangible with indefinite life?

A

-w just compare the FV and Carrying amount. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount then is recorded an impairment loss.

70
Q

how we report an impairment loss?

-is reported as a component of income from continuing operations before income taxes, unless is related to discontinued operations.

71
Q

under IFRS the impairment for intangible is the same? why?

A
  • Is calculated using one-step model.

- CV compared with recoverable amount.

Q

The greater of the asset’s FV less cost to sell and the asset’s value in use.

73
Q

What is a reporting units in terms of goodwill?

A

is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment.

74
Q

What is the first step of evaluation of goodwill impairment?

A

1-identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount., including goodwill. Points to evaluate

  • Assign assets and liabilities to the various reporting units. Assign goodwill to the reporting units.
  • determine the FV of assets and liabilities of those reporting units
  • if the FV is less than the carrying amount there are a potential impairment loss and pass to the step 2. If not then do not do the step 2
75
Q

What is the second step of evaluation of goodwill impairment?

A

2- Measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss comparing by the carrying amount of goodwill with the actual fair value.

76
Q

How we calculate implied goodwill?

A

-allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to all assets and liabilities of the unit. Any FV that cannot be assigned to specific asset and liabilities is the implied goodwill

then we compare the implied FV of goodwill to the carrying amount of the goodwill.

Implied goodwill

77
Q

What qualitative factor can me evaluate before determine an impairment loss?
