As per IAS 36, impairment loss is the amount by which carrying amount of asset exceeds its recoverable amount
Carrying amount = Cost of asset - Accumulated depreciation and impairment losses
	= 243,000,000-122,000,000
	= 121,000,000
Recoverable amount = higher of
		(i) Assets fair value less costs of disposal				90,000,000
		(ii) value in use				94,000,000
(i.e) recoverable amount = 94,000,000
Impairment loss = 121,000,000 - 94,000,000
	= 27,000,000
Entry :
	Impairment loss a/c Dr				27,000,000
	To Provision for impairment a/c					27,000,000
	(Being provision for impairment being made)
