    1. $2.5 million

    2. $0

    Explanation:

    1. Since the book value is more than the generated future cash flows so book value cannot be recovered. In this case, the generated future cash flows are ignored

    In this scenario, we compare the values between book value and the fair value of machinery, the difference would be the loss on impairment of the asset

    In mathematically,

    = Book value - fair value

    = $6.5 million - $4.0 million

    = $2.5 million

    2. In this case, the sum of future cash flows is exceeded than the book value. So, no impairment loss would be recognized i. e zero amount
