A

Under U.S. GAAP, is prohibited unless the intangible asset is held for sale.

28

Reported at cost - amortization -impairment

34
Q

Infinite intangible asset reported under US GAAP

Reported at cost-impairment

35
Q

Intangible asset reported under IFRS

A

Either the cost model or the revaluation model

36
Q

Cost Model

A
Just like U.S. GAAP model
Cost
-amortization
-impairment 
=carrying value (Finite life only)
37
Q

Revaluation Model

A

Fair Value on revaluation date
-subsequent amortization
-subsequent impairment
=carrying value ( finite life only)

38
Q

Where to report loss and gain under Revaluation Model?

A

Loss-I/S
Gain-OCI

To reverse loss from previous year, recognized revaluation gain on the I/S, then rest reported on OCI

Revaluation loss this year, prior year had gain, report loss to OCI first to offset gain, then rest I/S

39
Q

Research and Development undertaken on behalf of other under a contractual arragement

A

Do Not Expensed

40
Q

US GAAP- intangible asset (Infinite Life)

A

Life extend beyond the foreseeable future
No amortization
One step impairment test:
2. Fair value

41
Q

Reporting of Impairment loss of intangible asset other than goodwill

A

Income from continuing operation unless is discounted operation

42
Q

IFRS- Impairment loss of intangible asset

A

Step 2 model:
Recoverable amount
- Carrying value
=Impairment loss

Recoverable amount: GREATER OF:
Fair Value - cost to sell
Asset value in use ( PV of future cash flow)

43
Q

Recoverable amount

A

GREATER OF:

  • Fair Value less cost to sell
  • Asset value in use
44
Q

Asset value in use

A

Present value of future cash flow expected.

45
Q

Impairment Intangible Asset other than Goodwill Loss: step one

A

Undiscounnted future net cash flow
- Net carrying value
=Positive (no impairment loss)
=Negative (impairment loss), go to step two

46
Q

Impairment Intangible Asset other than Goodwill Loss: step two

A

Asset held for use:
Fair value
- Net carrying value
=impairment loss

Asset held for disposal:
  Fair value
- Net carrying value
\+Cost of dispodal
=Total impairment loss
47
Q

Goodwill impairment loss under US GAAP

A

Fair market of reporting unit less then carrying value of reporting unit

48
Q

Goodwill impairment loss under US GAAP formula:

A

Impairment loss = Goodwill implied fair value - Goodwill book value

FV of reporting unit
- FV of reporting unit’ asset and liability
=Goodwill implied fair value

49
Q

Goodwill implied fair value

A

FV of reporting unit
- FV of reporting unit’ asset and liability
=Goodwill implied fair value

50
Q

Goodwill impairment loss under IFRS formula:

A

Impairment loss = Recoverable amount - Carrying value

*same as the impairment for “Intangible Asset other than goodwill”

51
Q

US GAAP- intangible asset (Finite Life)

A
Useful life is limited
Amortized over useful economic life
Two step impairment test:
1. Undiscounted net cash flow
2. Fair value
