Part A:

1000 word short essay about the nature of "Impairment loss" and required disclosures including referencing.

Part B:

Crossbow Ltd is an entity that specialises in the manufacture of leather footwear for women. It has aggressively undertaken a strategy of buying out other companies that had competing products. These companies were liquidated and the assets and liabilities brought into Crossbow Ltd.

At 30 June 2015, Crossbow Ltd reported the following assets in its statement of financial position:

Land                                                                 $200,000
Inventory products                                             180,000
Brand ‘Crossbow Shoes'                                     160,000
Shoe factory                                                      700,000
Machinery for manufacturing shoes                       400,000
Goodwill on acquisition of competing companies     40,000
                                                                        $1,680,000

Because of the competition from overseas as customers pursue a strategy of buying online rather than visit Crossbow Ltd's stores, Crossbow Ltd assessed its impairment position at 30 June 2015. The indicators suggested that an impairment loss was probable. Crossbow Ltd calculated a recoverable amount of its company of $1 420 000. The fair value less costs of disposal of the land was $171 000.
