Slope Style Snowboarding Company, a public company, purchased equipment on January 10,
2013, for $750,000. At that time, management estimated that the equipment would have a
useful life of 10 years and a residual value of $50,000. Slope Style uses the straight-line method
of depreciation and has a December 31 year end.

Slope Style tested the equipment for impairment on December 31, 2017, after recording the
annual depreciation expense. It was determined that the equipment's recoverable amount was
$320,000, and that the total estimated useful life would be eight years instead of 10, with a
residual value of $10,000 instead of $50,000.

Instructions

(a) Calculate the annual depreciation expense for the years 2013 to 2017 and the carrying
amount at December 31, 2017.

(b) Record the impairment loss, if any, on December 31, 2017.

(c) What will appear on Slope Style's 2017 income statement and balance sheet with regard to
this equipment?

(d) Assuming no further impairments or recoveries, calculate the annual depreciation expense
for the years 2018 to 2020.

Taking It Further

Suggest some possible reasons why companies are allowed to record recoveries of previously
recorded impairments under IFRS but not under ASPE.
