    Debit Impairment loss account $50,000

    Credit Intangible asset account $50,000

    Being entries to recognize impairment loss on patent.

    Explanation:

    According to IAS 36, an asset is impaired when the carrying amount of the asset is more than the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value and the future net cash flow from the assets.

    Given;

    Carrying amount = $290,000

    Expected future net cash flows from this patent = $240,000

    Fair value of the patent = $133,000

    The recoverable amount = $240,000 (as this is higher than the fair value)

    Impairment is the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount.

    Impairment = $290,000 - $240,000

    = $50,000

    Entries required

    Debit Impairment loss account $50,000

    Credit Intangible asset account $50,000

    Being entries to recognize impairment loss on patent.
