Under Ind AS 36, an asset's 'recoverable amount' is the:
- HIGHER of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use
- Value in use only
- Fair value less costs of disposal only
- LOWER of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. HIGHER of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use
Recoverable amount = max(FVLCTS, VIU).
The rational decision-maker would recover the asset by whichever route (sale or use) yields more.
Impairment is recognised when carrying amount > recoverable amount.
