Explanation / Answer

Amortisation expense on Copyright = 19500/10 = 1950

Amortisation expense on Trade name = 8100/5 = 1620

Total amortisation expense = 1950 + 1620 = 3570

Book Value of Copyright = 19500 - 1950 = 17550

Fair Value of copyright = 20880

Impairment loss = 0 (because fair value exceeds book value)

Book Value of Trade name = 8100 - 1620 = 6480

Fair Value of Trade name = 5300

Impairment loss = 6480 - 5300 = 1180
