The land and building were revalued on 1 October 20X3 with $80 million attributable to the land and
$200 million to the building. At that date the estimated remaining life of the building was 25 years. A
further revaluation was not needed until 1 October 20X8 when the land and building were valued at
$85 million and $180 million respectively. The remaining estimated life of the building at this date
was 20 years.

April 20X9 new plant costing $45 million was acquired. In addition, this plant cost $5 million to install
and commission. No plant is more than four years old.

million.

What is the impairment loss on license
Advents license is now carried at Recoverable amount. How is recoverable amount measured?
