| kalps | Ok, if FV of LT asset is not readily determinable then it should shown on the balance sheet as the discounted expected future net operating cash flows |
| ehc0791 | If you come up some number, that means you determine the value which is conflic with "Not dterminable" |
| cong | If the fair value of an impaired long-term asset is not readily determinable, it should be shown on the B/S on a discount basis. |
I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
