Temporal Com Ltd has a right to operate the facility for 15 years. After the 15th year, it is required to decommission the facility and the cost of decommissioning is estimated at $120,000.

On 30 June 2024, due to world economic downturn, an impairment test was carried out and the facilitys fair value was estimated as $420,000 with sales taxes of $8,000. Temporal Com Ltd internally estimated the present value of future cash inflows to be generated from the facility as $418,000.

The directors are wondering, whether impairment loss can be reversed. They were hoping by 30 June 2025, a favourable reassessment of the recoverable amount occurs as the world economy would be recovered. The directors are asking you to explain the reversal process, if recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to be $525,000 on 30 June 2025.
