Impairment Loss = Carrying Amount (-) Recoverable Amount

Whereas Recoverable Amount is higher of Value in use and Fair Value less cost to dispose.

And Value in Use means the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or cash-generating unit.

At the end of 2020:-

Value in use of the license = Discounted Cash Flows expected in future = $477,700

Recoverable Amount = Higher of 1) Value in use = $477,700 and 2) Fair Value Less Cost to dispose = $423,000

Recoverable Amount = $477,700

Therefore, Impairment loss = $528,000 - $477,700 = $ 50,300

Journal Entry for impairment loss on 31st December 2020 would be

Date	Account Titles and Description	Debit	Credit
12-31-2020	Impairment Loss Account	50,300
	License		50,300
	(Being Impairment Loss on License recorded)

At the end of 2021:-

Carrying amount of License as on 01-01-2021 = $528,000 - $50,300 = $477,700

Amortisation amount for the year 2021 = $477,700/10 years = $47,770

Carrying amount as on 31st December 2021 = $477,700 - $47,770 = $429,930

Recoverable Amount of License as on 31st December 2021 = $450,700

As Carrying amount is less than recoverable amount, no impairment is required for the year 2021.
