Question 8 The Blissopia Leisure Group consists of three divisions: Blissopia I, which operates mainstream bars; Blissopia 2, which operates large restaurants; and Blissopia 3, which operates one hotel - the Eden. Divisions I and 2 have been trading very successfully and there are no indications of any potential impair- ment. It is a different matter with the Eden, however. The Eden is a 'boutique' hotel and was acquired on | November 2006 for $6.90m. The fair value (using net selling price) of the hotel's net assets at that date and their carrying value at the year-end were as follows: Land and buildings Plant and equipment Cash Vehicles Trade receivables Trade payables Fair value 1.11.06 Carrying value 31.10.07 $m $m 3.61 3.18 0.90 0.81 1.40 1.12 0.10 0.09 0.34 0.37 (0.60) (0.74) 5.75 4.83 The following facts were discovered following an impairment review as at 31 October 2007: (i) During August 2007, a rival hotel commenced trading in the same location as the Eden. The Blissopia Leisure Group expects hotel revenues to be significantly affected and has calculated the value-in-use of the Eden to be $3.52m. (ii) The company owning the rival hotel has offered to buy the Eden (including all of the above net assets) for $4m. Selling costs would be approximately $50,000. (ii) One of the hotel vehicles was severely damaged in an accident whilst being used by an employee to carry shopping home from a supermarket. The vehicle's carrying value at 31 October 2007 was $30,000 and insurers have indicated that as it was being used for an uninsured purpose the loss is not covered by insurance. The vehicle was subsequently scrapped. (iv) A corporate client, owing $40,000, has recently gone into liquidation. Lawyers have estimated that the company will receive only 25% of the amount outstanding. Required: Prepare a memo for the directors of the Blissopia Leisure Group explaining how the group should account for the impairment to the Eden Hotel's assets as at 31 October 2007.
