Recoverable amount is the greater of an asset's fair value less costs to sell, or its value in use. Value in use refers to the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset.
Re: discussion of how impairment loss is determined
In addition,if fair value less cost of disposal can not be determined, recoverable amount is value in use.
Re: discussion of how impairment loss is determined
Fair value less cost of disposal plus value in use .
Re: discussion of how impairment loss is determined
Recoverable Amount: is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use .
Also is assessed only when there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

Carrying amount: the amount at which an asset is recognised in the balance sheet after deducting accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses
Recoverable amount: the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal* (sometimes called net selling price) and its value in use
Re: discussion of how impairment loss is determined
It is higher of (net asset fv less cost of sell) or its value in use ,

We say that there is impairment loss when the carrying amount is greater than recoverable value.
Recovareble value: is high value in use compare with net realisable value.
In other words: is refer to the residual value of an asset at the end of useful life of asset.

The value in use refers to the present value of future cash flows — basically, how much money you could make if you kept the asset. You need to calculate both of these things to determine the recoverable amount, because it’s the lesser of the two.

Recoverable amount is the higher of value-in-use OR net realizable value (NRV, fair value less cost to sell). Value-in-use can be found by calculating the forecasted discounted cash flow that can be generated by the specific asset. While NRV is basically the fair value deducted by costs needed to sell the asset. Fair value can be found by referring to the IFRS 13 - Fair Value.
Recoverable amount is used when we are doing impairment test of an asset. Recoverable amount is compared to the cost of the asset. If it is lower, then value of the asset is impaired. If the value subsequently goes higher

The recoverable amount is used in the test

The highest value will be the recoverable value
Example:when the fair value is frw 2000 and cost of disposal is frw 800 while the value in use of the asste is frw 1500 .We may have fair value minus costof disposal which is frw 2000-frw 800=1200 few while the value in use is 1500 the the recoverable amount is frw 1500 because it is the highest amount compared to 1200

Impairment occurs when a business asset suffers a depreciation in fair market value in excess of the book value of the asset on the company's financial statements.
Under the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, assets that are considered "impaired" must be recognized as a loss on an income statement.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Impairment occurs when a business asset suffers a depreciation in fair market value in excess of the book value of the asset on the company's financial statements.
Under the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) assets considered impaired must be recognized as a loss on an income statement.
The technical definition of impairment loss is a decrease in net carrying value of an asset greater than the future undisclosed cash flow of the same asset.
Understanding Impairment Loss
The technical definition of the impairment loss is a decrease in net carrying value, the acquisition cost minus depreciation, of an asset that is greater than the future undisclosed cash flow of the same asset. Impairment occurs when assets are sold or abandoned because the company no longer expects them to benefit long-run operations.
This is different from a write-down, though impairment losses often result in a tax deferral for the asset.1 Depending on the type of asset being impaired, stockholders of a publicly held company may also lose equity in their shares, which results in a lower debt-to-equity ratio.2
How Is Impairment Loss Calculated?
Calculating Impairment Loss
The first step is to identify the factors that lead to an asset's impairment. Some factors may include changes in market conditions, new legislation or regulatory enforcement, turnover in the workforce or decreased asset functionality due to aging. In some circumstances, the asset itself may be functioning as well as ever, but new technology or new techniques may cause the fair market value of the asset to drop significantly.
A fair market calculation is key; asset impairment cannot be recognized without a good approximation of fair market value. Fair market value is the price the asset would fetch if it was sold on the market. This is sometimes described as the future cash flow the asset would expect to generate in continued business operations.
Another term for this value is "recoverable amount." Once the fair market value is assigned, it is then compared to the carrying value of the asset as represented on the company's financial statements. Carrying value does not need to be recalculated at this time since it exists in previous accounting records.
If the calculated costs of holding the asset exceed the calculated fair market value, the asset is considered to be impaired. If the asset in question is going to be disposed of, the costs associated with the disposal must be added back into the net of the future net value less the carrying value.34
Impairment losses are either recognized through the cost model or the revaluation model, depending on whether the debited amount was changed through the new, adjusted fair market valuation described above. Even when impairment results in a small tax benefit for the company, the realization of impairment is bad for the company as a whole. It usually represents the need for an increased reinvestment.

Re: discussion of how impairment loss is determined
amount of Asset and the maximum between recovereble amount( Fair value of Asset -cost of sales) and value in use. means if the carrying of amount asset is less than recovereble amount so the asset is impaired. otherwise if currying amount is greater than recovereble amount so there is no impairment of that asset according to IAS 19 .
Re: discussion of how impairment loss is determined
The highest value will be the recoverable value
Example:when the fair value is frw 2000 and cost of disposal is frw 800 while the value in use of the asste is frw 1500 .We may have fair value minus costof disposal which is frw 2000-frw 800=1200 few while the value in use is 1500 the the recoverable amount is frw 1500 because it is the highest amount compared to 1200

Recoverable value is the greater of an asset's fair value less costs to sell, or its value in use. Value in use refers to the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset.

Re: discussion of how impairment loss is determined
when an asset's currying value exceeds that of an asset's recoverable value, the surplus is referred to as an impairment loss. for a cash or an asset generating unit, the recoverable values are computed as the higher of the values in use and the fair value has the lower selling cost.
