Answer:

Option C. The greater of fair value less cost to sell or value in use.

Explanation:

The IAS 36 Impairment of Assets says that the impairment must be recognised if the recoverable amount is greater than the cost of the asset and also tells about what actually the recoverable amount actually is.

Recoverable Amount is greater of:

  • Fair Value less Cost to Sell

or

  • Value in use.

So the option C is the correct option.
