    The Journal Entry is as follows:

    Loss on Impairment $8,400

    Debt Investment ($8,400)

    Explanation:

    Given.

    Carrying Value = $79,200

    Decreased Value = $70,800

    Differences = $79,200 - $70,800

    Differences = $8,400

    Since the loss in value is determined, uncollectible.

    The required entry on the journal entry are the amount loss on impairment and the amount invested on debt.

    The Journal Entry is as follows:

    Loss on Impairment $8,400

    Debt Investment ($8,400)
