Excalibur Ltd operates in the Swan Valley in Western Australia where it is involved in the growing of grapes and the production of wine. In June 2022, it anticipated that its assets may be impaired due to a glut on the market for grapes and an impending tax from the Australian government seeking to reduce binge drinking of alcohol by teenage Australians. Land is measured by Excalibur Ltd at fair value. At 30 June 2022, the entity revalued the land to its fair value of \($480\) 000. The land had previously been revalued upwards by \($80\) 000. As a result of its impairment testing, Excalibur Ltd calculated that the recoverable amount of the entity’s assets was \($5\) 824 000. The carrying amounts of the assets of Excalibur Ltd prior to adjusting for the impairment test and the revaluation of the land were as follows.

 that would need to be made to the journal entries you prepared in part 1 of this question, and explain why adjustments are or are not required.
