131) The Salamander Company has evaluated its receivables, and has identified the following
possible impairments:
• Note #1 has recently deteriorated in credit quality. For Note #1, Salamander
estimates the present value of credit losses occurring in the next twelve months
is $50,000, and the present value of credit losses occurring after twelve months
is $20,000.
• Note #2 has not deteriorated in credit quality. For Note #2, Salamander estimates
the present value of credit losses occurring in the next twelve months is $5,000,
and the present value of credit losses occurring after twelve months is $10,000.
If Salamander is reporting under IFRS and therefore uses the ECL model, it would recognize an
impairment loss of:
A) $50,000.
B) $55,000.
C) $75,000.
D) $85,000.
132) Rebound Inc. reports under IFRS. In 2018 Rebound recognized an impairment of $200,000
due to a troubled debt restructuring. In 2019 Rebound was pleased to determine that more cash
flows would be received from the receivable than was previously thought, such that, if the total
impairment were to be calculated in 2019, it would be estimated as $150,000 rather than
$200,000. How should Rebound treat this in its 2019 income statement?
A) Rebound should ignore the change, given that recovery of its previous impairments is not
allowed under IFRS.
B) Rebound should make a prior period adjustment of 2018 income, given that the impairment
charge was in error.
C) Rebound should recognize an increase in 2019 net income of $50,000.
D) None of these answer choices are correct.
