Case Study: Temporal Com Ltd completed the installation of its telecommunication network facility on 1 January 2023. The various costs incurred prior to completion are as follows:
Details:
Cost of overseas trips to search for telecommunication facilities information and administrative costs incurred prior to installation 21,900
Costs of site preparation 82,000
Telecommunication machinery and equipment 219,000
Initial delivery and handling costs 22,000
Commissioning, installation, and assembly costs 68,000
Cost of testing the network 16,000
Directly attributable professional fees 11,000
Cost of opening the telecommunication network facility, including costs incurred for inviting superstars and VIPs 17,000
Cost of relocating certain facilities, including Feng Shui cost 10,000
Temporal Com Ltd has a right to operate the facility for 15 years. After the 15th year, it is required to decommission the facility and the cost of decommissioning is estimated at $120,000.
On 30 June 2024, due to world economic downturn, an impairment test was carried out and the facility's fair value was estimated as $420,000 with sales taxes of $8,000. Temporal Com Ltd internally estimated the present value of future cash inflows to be generated from the facility as $418,000.
The directors are wondering, whether impairment loss can be reversed. They were hoping by 30 June 2025, a favourable reassessment of the recoverable amount occurs as the world economy would be recovered. The directors are asking you to explain the reversal process, if recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to be $525,000 on 30 June 2025.
