The asset was estimated to have a useful life of 10 years and was depreciated on a straight-line basis. Sullivan chose the cost model for accounting for assets in this class. Indicators of impairment have been identified for the reporting periods ending 2016 and 2018, while indicators for a reversal of impairment have been identified for the period ending 2017. The recoverable amounts of the asset on these dates were as follows: Year ended 30 June Recoverable amount 2016 $360000 2017 340000 2018 245000 The asset was sold for $235 000 on 31 December 2018.

The bonds would repay the principal of $10 million on 30 June 2025. At the time the market only required a rate of return on 6 per cent on such bonds. We will assume that the market’s required rate of return on these financial instruments remains at 6 per cent throughout the life of the bonds. Octavio Ltd operates within a business model where bonds are held in order to collect contractual cash flows and there is no intention to trade them. Assume that there were no direct costs associated with acquiring the bonds. (The use of Present Value and Annuity tables are required. Please refer Appendix A & B of your prescribed textbook) Required: 1.
