Answer 1

1. As per IFRS
Date	Account Title	Debit	Credit
Dec. 31, 2017	Loss in Impairment	7,400
	Brands		7,400
	Compute Loss on impairment:
	Carrying value of brand	43,100
	Less: Fair value of brand cost to sell	35,700
	Loss on impairment	7,400

Note: Carrying value of brand 43,100 exceeds both the fair value of 35,700 and discounted cash flows 34,700. therefore impairment loss is recognized.

2. As per US-GAAP
Date	Account Title	Debit	Credit
Dec. 31, 2017	Loss in Impairment	7,400
	Brands		7,400
	Compute Loss on impairment:
	Carrying value of brand	43,100
	Less: Fair value of brand cost to sell	35,700
	Loss on impairment	7,400

Note: In this case, the indefinite life of intangible assets other than goodwill will be tested for impairment loss annually by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount.
