20. The Stevens Co. has suffered losses in its film developing division for the last two years. On 12/31/10, the controller decided that he would need to apply the impairment test to film developing equipment and make any required adjustments. He gathered the following information and determined that the asset was impaired:

Balance in the Equipment account = $400,000

Balance in Accumulated Depreciation = $300,000

Future value of cash flows associated with the asset = $75,000

Fair value of asset on 12/31/10 = $60,000.

Why is the asset considered to be "impaired?"

A. Cost of equipment ($400,000) exceeds future cash flows ($75,000)

B. Book value of the equipment ($100,000) exceeds future cash flows ($75,000)

C. Book value of the equipment $100,000) exceeds fair value ($60,000)

D. Fair value of asset ($60,000) is less than future cash flows ($75,000)

Explanation / Answer

Solution.

Q18.

i. calculation of retail value of goos avilable for sale = $35,000 + $125,000

                                                                                     = $160,000

ii. Subtraction of total sales during the period from the retail value of goods available for sale.

$160,000 - $110,000 = $50,000

iii. Calculation of the cost to retail price ratio

Where,
   A is the cost of beginning inventory;
   B is the cost of inventory purchased including incidental costs such as freight-in;
   C is the retail value of beginning inventory; and
   D is the retail value of goods purchased during the period

Cost to Retail Ratio = ($20,000 + $80,000 / $35,000 + $125,000)

                                  = $100,000 / $160,000

                                  = .625

iv. $50,000 x .625 = $31.250.

Q19. Calculation of the cost to retail ratio based on the above

Beginning inventory at retail = $35,000

Purchases at retail                = $125,000

Total    = $160,000

Beginning inventory at cost = $20,000

Purchases at cost                 = $80,000

Total                                        = $100,000

cost to retail ratio = $100,000 / $160,000

                               = 62.5%

Q20.

Answer is D. Fair value of asset ($60,000) is less than future cash flows ($75,000)

Because if asset is able to genrate futuree cash inflow $75,000, and there fair value is yet $60,000 it show asset is

"impaired".

Cost to Retail Ratio = A+ B C + D
