    Depreciation $ 1,000,000 (debit)

    Accumulated Depreciation $ 1,000,000 (credit)

    Explanation:

    Step 1 Analyse whether there was an impairment

    Impairment of an asset happens when its Carrying Amount is greater than its Recoverable Amount.

    Carrying Amount

    Carrying Amount = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

    = $5,600,000 - $640,000

    = $ 4,960,000

    Recoverable Amount

    Is the higher of:

    Value in use : $4,000,000 and Fair Value less Cost to sell $2,720,000

    Therefore Recoverable Amount is $4,000,000

    Impairment

    Carrying Amount > Recoverable Amount, therefore the Equipment Was impaired

    The impairement loss is $ 960,000

    Step 2 Calculate the depreciation 2018.

    Depreciation Charge = Cost / Useful life

    = ($5,600,000 - $640,000 - $ 960,000) / 4

    = $ 1,000,000
