Isn't the fair value minus selling costs the way to go?

Wait, how can it be $1,200? That seems off.

I feel like the answer might be $1,200, but I’m not completely confident. I need to double-check how selling costs impact the calculation.

I think the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount, but I can't recall the exact numbers we used in practice.

This question seems similar to one we practiced where we had to determine the recoverable amount. I think we need to subtract selling costs from fair value.

Okay, let's see. The asset's fair value is $8,500, and selling costs are $1,500. I think I can figure this out, but I'll need to double-check my work.

This seems straightforward. The impairment loss is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and its fair value less selling costs, which is $2,000. I'm confident I can get this right.

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).
