czar did it mean, when held for sale, it cannot be reversed
Jurrens no, re-read the wording. Held for use and held for sale have two different meanings.
jonan203 if held for use cannot be reversed...
msoentoro I thought in Study Notes its stated that impairment can not be restored??
Shaan23 I checked A but didnt read all the choices.

Msoentoro --- It can be reversed under GAAP only under one condition --- Held for sale.
