26 September 2008 The preoperative expenditure in such a case are allocated to Fixed Assets. If the realisable value of fixed assets is less than the book value after allocation of Preoperative expenditure, then impairment results. On the other hand if the Fixed assets can fetch the full value and is retained in book value for further disposal.
