The cash flow forecast based on recent financial budget for next 6 years are: Year Estimated cash flow (₹ in Lakhs) 2025-2026 1,000 2026-2027 800 2027-2028 700 2028-2029 800 2029-2030 600 2030-2031 500 You are required to calculate: (i) Value in use if discounting rate is 10% on 31 March 2025. (ii) Impairment loss to be recognized for the year ended 31 March 2025. (iii) Revised carrying amount of asset on 31 March 2025. (P.V. factor @ 10% 0.909, 0.826, 0.751, 0.683, 0.621, 0.564)

Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

(i) Calculation of Value in Use (VIU) as at 31-03-2025 Year Cash flow (₹ in lakhs) PV factor @10% PV (₹ in lakhs) 2025-26 1,000 0.909 909.00 2026-27 800 0.826 660.80 2027-28 700 0.751 525.70 2028-29 800 0.683 546.40 2029-30 600 0.621 372.60 2030-31 500 0.564 282.00 Total VIU 3,296.50 Value in Use (rounded) = 3,297 lakhs (ii) Impairment loss to be recognised for the year ended 31 st March, 2025 Impairment loss required = Carrying amount – Recoverable amount = 5,700 -3,297 = 2,403 lakhs. (iii) Revised carrying amount of identifiable asset = 4,500 - 1,203 = 3,297 lakhs Calculation of Impairment Loss and revised carrying amount Goodwill Identifiable Assets CGU Total Acquisition cost on 31 st March 2023 2,000 6,000 Less: Amortization- (Cost/5)*2 / Depreciation (Cost/8)*2 for 2 years 800 1500 1,200 4,500 5,700 3,297 2,403 Recoverable Amount (See Note below) 1,200 1,203 Impairment Loss to be recognised Allocation of impairment loss (See Note) 0 3,297 Carrying amount after impairment Note: 1. Recoverable amount and impairment test Fair value less costs to sell for the identifiable asset given = 3,000 lakhs. (Note: fair value less costs to sell of whole CGU not provided; value in use of CGU computed above.)Recoverable amount of the CGU = higher of Value in Use (3,297) and Fair value less costs to sell (use value for comparison). → Recoverable amount = 3,297 lakhs (since 3,297 > 3,000).Carrying amount (pre-impairment) = 5,700 lakhs.Impairment loss required = Carrying amount – Recoverable amount = 5,700 – 3,297 = 2,403 lakhs. 2. Allocation of impairment loss As per AS 28 impairment loss for a cash-generating unit is allocated first to reduce goodwill carrying amount to zero, and then to other assets of the unit pro-rata (or as required) so that carrying amount after allocation equals recoverable amount.
