At that date, the carrying amount was Rs. 105 million, its fair value was Rs. 110 million and estimated costs to sell amounted to Rs. 8 million. Asset was acquired 3 years ago at the cost of Rs. 150 million and had a useful life of 10 years. ML failed to negotiate the price with Zamir Limited and hence was unable to sell the asset, therefore, on December 31, 2017, it decided to reverse the decision to classify asset as held for sale and decided to use it in the business. At December 31, 2017, the asset had a fair value of Rs. 100 million and estimated cost to sell was Rs. 8 million.
