I bet the exam creator thought they were being sly with this one, but we're too smart for their tricks! $1,200 is the impairment loss, no question about it. Time to move on to the next question and show off our accounting prowess!

Hmm, let me think about this. The fair value less selling costs is $500, and the carrying value is $1,700. Yep, option C is the correct answer - $1,200 is the impairment loss. Nailed it!

I'm going with option C. $1,200 is the way to go, no doubt about it. How else would you calculate the impairment loss under IAS 36? This is a piece of cake!

Wow, this is a tricky one. The fair value less selling costs is $2,000 - $1,500 = $500, and the carrying value is $1,700, so the impairment loss is $1,200. Easy peasy!

But the selling costs are $1,500, so the impairment loss should be $1,200 (fair value - selling costs).

The impairment loss is clearly $1,200 according to IAS 36. That's the difference between the asset's carrying value and its fair value less selling costs.
