    Consider the following calculations

    Explanation:

    Answer: (a) Carrying value of asset: $10,000,000 - $2,500,000 = $7,500,000.

    ($10,000,000 : 8) x 2 = $2,500,000

    Future cash flows $6,300,000

    Carrying value $7,500,000

    Impairment entry:

    Loss on Impairment A/C Dr. $1,900,000

    To Accumulated Depreciation A/C $ 1,900,000

    (7,500,000 - 5,600,000 = 1,900,000)

    (b) Depreciation Expense A/C Dr. $ 1,400,000

    To Accumulated Depreciation A/C $ 1,400,000

    ($5600000/4=$1400000)

    (c) No depreciation is recorded on impaired assets to be disposed of.

    Recovery of impairment losses are recorded.

    Loss on Impairment A/c Dr. $1,900,000

    To Accumulated Depreciation A/C $ 1,900,000

    12/31/2015 Accumulated Depreciation A/C Dr. $ 300,000

    To Recovery of Impairment Loss A/C $ 300,000
