FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT-
Under the IFRSs regime, assets cannot be booked at more than their recoverable amount. That is, at more than the greater of their net realizable value and the net present value of their future income streams. This entails estimating the future income streams from using an asset separately, or as part of a cash generating unit (CGU) discounting the estimated net income stream with an estimated appropriate discount factor, comparing it with the asset's selling price or the aggregate of the selling prices of the assets comprising CGU - asset' net selling price to determine the recoverable amount and comparing the latter with the book value to determine any estimated impairment in book value. Most assets will be booked at their 'cost less depreciation'. In that exercise, only the current selling price of the asset (or of the CGU assets) is likely to exist. Assets' lives are estimates. Their separate or the CGU's future net income streams area both estimates, and the discount factor is an estimate. As such, an asset's selling price is the only item capable of independent corroboration (Clarke and Dean, 2007, p.111).
