Expert Solution

Before answer this question I am assuming that US GAAP is applied in the given question and not the IFRS, IAS 36.

As per US GAAP the asset is impaired only after two tests.

First test is ascertaining that Undiscounted cash flow is lower than book value or not. If Book value is lower than undiscounted cash flow the impairment will be done otherwise not.

Second step will be dependent on first step. If in first step asset’s book value is lower than undiscounted cash flows then impairment will be done in following manner.

Impairment loss= Book value –Fair value of asset.

Answer--- Impairment to be reported $ 0

Since the undiscounted cash flow from equipment is greater than book value no impairment will be done.

Please leave a comment in case of any confusion.
