    Answer and Explanation:

    Before recording the journal entries first we need to find out the depreciation expense which is shown below:

    Cost $4,680,000

    Less: Accumulated Deprecation-equipment $468,000

    Net Value $4,212,000

    Less: Fair value $2,184,000

    Loss on Impairment $2,028,000

    And,

    Fair value $2,184,000

    Divide by Life 4 years

    So, Depreciation Expenses $546,000

    Now the journal entry is

    1 Loss on Impairment $2,028,000

    To Accumulated Deprecation - equipment $2,028,000

    (Being the loss on impairment is recorded)

    2 Depreciation Expenses $546,000

    To Accumulated Deprecation - equipment $546,000

    (Being the depreciation expense is recorded)

    3. No journal entry is required
