sales and advertising are identifiable for each title. In addition, although titles are

E - Building: Half-Rented to Others and Half-Occupied for Own
Use
Background
A20. M is a manufacturing company. It owns a headquarter building that used to be
fully occupied for internal use. After down-sizing, half of the building is now used
internally and half rented to third parties. The lease agreement with the tenant is for
five years.
What is the cash-generating unit of the building?
Analysis
A21. The primary purpose of the building is to serve as a corporate asset, supporting
M’s manufacturing activities. Therefore, the building as a whole cannot be
considered to generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows
from the enterprise as a whole. So, it is likely that the cash-generating unit for the
building is M as a whole.
A22. The building is not held as an investment. Therefore, it would not be
appropriate to determine the value in use of the building based on projections of
future market related rents.
