Some Important terms in AS 10
The fair value of an asset is the amount at which we can exchange such an asset between the willing
parties in an arm’s length transaction.

An impairment loss is an amount at which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable
amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its net selling price and its value in use.

Property plant and equipment are tangible assets. These assets help in the production or supply of
goods and services.

The residual value of an asset is the estimated amount that will be received at its disposal at the end
of its useful life.

The depreciable amount is the cost of an asset reduced by its residual value. Every significant item of
property, plant, and equipment should be depreciated separately. For Example – it may be appropriate
to depreciate the airframe and engines of such aircraft to depreciate separately.

Recognize the depreciation charge for each period in the statement of profit and loss. Allocate the
depreciable amount of an asset on a systematic basis over the useful life of such an asset.
