Therefore, he reviews his property for impairment. Original cost $1,000,000 S/L over 25 years 10 years $35,000 (over remaining life)' Depreciation method: Remaining life: Estimated annual cash inflows: Relevant rate: Required: Sreet )-? 1.

Determine the new book value for the hotel after the journal entry above. BU 4. Determine depreciation for 20X2. Assume S/L and no residual value.Explanation / Answer
1)
Depreciation per year as per straight line method = 1000000/25 = 40000
Property used = 25 - 10 = 15 years
Current Book Value = Original cost - Total depreciation charged = 1000000 - (40000*15) = 1000000 - 600000 = 400000
Estimated annual cashflow for 10 years = 35000
Relevant rate = 4%
Recoverable amount = 35000*Present value annuity factor(4%,10)
= 35000*8.1108 = 283878
Recoverable amount is less than current book value. So, hotel is impaired.
2)
Amount of impairment = Current Book value - Recoverable amount
= 400000 - 283878 = 116122
Journal Entry:
Impairment Loss Dr 116122
Property (Asset) Cr 116122
3)
New Book Value = 400000 - 116122 = 283878 i.e. Recoverable amount
4)
Depreciation for 2012 = New Book Value/Remaining life = 283878/10 = 28387.80
