| Assets: |
$ |
| Cash |
42,000 |
| Plant and equipment |

| Less: accumulated depreciation |
(120,000) |

| Carrying amount of cash generating unit |

The patent has a fair value less costs to sell of $140,000, and the land has a fair value less costs to sell of $825,000.The directors of Jack estimate that, at 30 June 2015, the fair value less costs to sell of the division amounts to $1,500,000, while the value in use of the division is $1,560,000.As a result, management increased the depreciation of the plant and equipment from $40,000 p.a. to $45,000 for the year ended 30 June 2016.By 30 June 2016, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit was calculated to be $55,000 greater than the carrying amount of the assets of the unit.
