Trademark with 5 years remaining has been amortized to $200,000.

There has been an advancement in a


competitor's trademark which is deemed an "event or change in circumstance" which may impair our
trademark. We have estimated the future cash flows as follows:

Total Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5


Undiscounted cash flows 175,000 100,000 50,000 10,000 10,000 5,000

Because the undiscounted cash flows of $175,000 is less than the NBV of $200,000, there has been an
impairment. We have to estimate the fair value then of our intangible. Most likely we will just DISCOUNT the
cash flows. Using a rate of 8%, they are:

Total Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5


Discounted cash flows 160,198 96,225 44,549 8,250 7,639 3,536

Therefore our estimated impairment is:

(b) This is being amortized, we only test if it has "an indication of a change in circumstance". If there had been no change, th
lets say there was, then we would do an undiscounted cash flow analysis. The undiscounted cash flows exceed the NBV, so
BUT if not, then we would estimate fair value (probably by discounting the cash flows) and record the impairment.
(C ) Fixed assets just like we treat definite lived intangibles. We will assume that no "events or change in circumstance"
