Discussion

20. Case Study 1
 Facts
 ethio telecom is committed to a plan to sell a building and has
started looking for a buyer for that building. ethio telecom will
continue to use the building until another building is completed to
house the office staff located in the building. There is no intention
to relocate the office staff until the new building is completed.

 Required
 Would the building be classified as held for sale?

21. Case Study 2
 Facts
 ethio telecom is planning to sell part of its business that is
deemed to be a disposal group. The entity is in a business
environment that is heavily regulated, and any sale requires
government approval. This means that the sale time is
difficult to determine. Government approval cannot be
obtained until a buyer is found and known for the disposal
group and a firm purchase contract has been signed.
However, it is likely that the entity will be able to sell the
disposal group within one year.
 Required
 Would the disposal group be classified as held for sale?

22. Case Study 3
 Facts
 ethio telecom has an asset that has been designated as held
for sale in the financial year to December 31, 2015. During
the financial year to December 31, 2016, the asset still
remains unsold, but the market conditions for the asset have
deteriorated significantly. The entity believes that market
conditions will improve and has not reduced the price of the
asset, which continues to be classified as held for sale. The
fair value of the asset is 5 million, and the asset is being
marketed at 7 million.
 Required
 Should the asset be classified as held for sale in the financial
statements for the year ending December 31, 2016?

23. Case Study 4
 Facts
 ethio telecom entity is reorganizing its business activities. In
one location, it is stopping the usage of certain equipment
because the demand for the product produced by that
equipment has reduced significantly. The equipment is to be
maintained in good working order, and it is expected that it will
be brought back into use if the demand increases. Additionally,
ethio telecom intends to close three out of five network units.
The network units constitute a major activity of the entity. All the
work within the three units will end during the current year, and
as of the year-end all work will have ceased.
 Required
How will the piece of equipment and the closure of the network
units be treated in the financial statement in the current year
