Impairment loss : 2,000;000
Allocation of impairment loss
Building (5/10 x 2,000,000) 1,000,000

Observe that after allocating the P1,000,000 loss to the building, the
carrying amount of the building would be P4, 000, 000 which is lower
than its fair value of P4,500,000.
PAS 36, paragraph 105, provides that the carrying amount of
an asset shall not be reduced below the highest of fair value
less cost of disposal, value in use and zero.
The amount of impairment loss that would otherwise have been
allocated to the asset shall be reallocated prorata to the other
_noncash assets of the cash generating unit.
Accordingly, only P500,000 loss is allocated to the building and the
balance of P500,000 is reallocated to the equipment and inventory
prorata.

As aresult of the combination, the following amounts of goodwill were
recorded for each of the three reporting units of the acquired entity:
Retailing 300,000
Service 200,000
Financing . 400,000
Near the year-end, a new major competitor entered the entity’s
market and the entity was concerned that this might cause a significant
decline in the value of goodwill.
Accordingly, the entity computed the implied value of the goodwill
for the three major reporting units at year-end as follows:
Retailing 250,000
Service . 100,000
Financing 600,000
