The land has a fair value less costs of disposal of $180,000 (as at 30 June 2017).

It was determined on 30 June 2017 that the CGU's fair value less costs of disposal was $556,000, and its value in use was $576,000.

At 30 June 2018, Woobies Ltd, because of a reversal of the indicators leading to the impairment, assessed the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to be $30,000 more than the carrying amount of the unit. As a result, Woobies Ltd recognised a reversal of the impairment loss.

As at 30 June 2017, prior to impairment, depreciation was charged on the Equipment at $30,000 p.a. and on the Factory at $20,000 p.a. After impairment, the new depreciation was revised to $28,000 p.a. for the Equipment and $25,000 p.a. for the Factory. These entries were processed on 30 June 2018.

The land has a fair value less costs of disposal of $190,000 (as at 30 June 2018).

Required:

a) Provide the appropriate journal entry for Woobies Ltd in relation to the impairment testing on 30 June 2017. Show all calculations and workings.

b) Provide the appropriate journal entry for Woobies Ltd in relation to the impairment reversal on 30 June 2018. Show all calculations and workings.

Question 4. On 1 July 2017, Garrett Ltd completed construction of an oilrig. At the end of the 10-year tenure period (30 June 2027), they are required to restore the environmental damage arising from the oilrig. As at 1 July 2017, the best estimate to restore the environmental damage is $19,000,000. The pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability is 10%. On 30 June 2018, the best estimate is still $19,000,000, but the appropriate discount rate has changed to 9% due to market conditions.

Required:

a) Provide the appropriate journal entries for Garrett Ltd for the year ending 30 June 2018. Show all calculations and workings.

b) Briefly explain why the restoration costs are recognised as a provision rather than being disclosed as a contingent liability by referring to the Conceptual Framework and/or Accounting Standards.

c) Briefly explain your treatment of the provision (in part [a], above) by referring to the Accounting Standards.
