Aylmer Landscaping follows ASPE and has determined that the cash flows from individual assets of the snow removal unit cannot be measured independently. However, as an asset group it has been determined the undiscounted future cash flows expected from their use and subsequent disposal is $68,000. The discounted cash flows at their present value would be $57,000 and the fair value of the assets is $70,000. If the assets were sold at auction the auction house takes a 10% commission of any sales proceeds. The snow removal group consists of the following assets:

Cost

Accumulated Depreciation

Carrying Amount

Truck #1

62,000

46,500

15,500

Truck #2

76,000

31,500

44,500

Tools

37,750

17,775

19,975

175,750

95,775

79,975

Aylmer Landscaping has repeatedly turned down an offer from an unrelated third-party to purchase truck #2 for $44,500.
