E is the correct answer. I'm going to need a calculator the size of a small country to figure out those present value calculations.

D is correct. Impairment losses can be recorded directly against the asset or through an allowance account. Either way, the accountant's job is to make the numbers look as ugly as possible.

C is correct. A breach of contract can be an indication of impairment. Looks like someone's been slacking off on their loan payments!

A and E are correct. If a financial instrument is held to maturity, it should be measured at amortized cost and impacted by impairment. The impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of future cash flows.

I disagree with you, Penney. Statement A is actually correct because both held to maturity instruments and available for sale assets are measured at amortised cost.

I think statement A is incorrect because held to maturity instruments are not impacted by impairment.
