Third Eye Blind purchases machine for manufacturing clothing for $100,000 with an original estimated useful life of 5 years and residual value of $20,000. 7. After 2 years, demand for the clothing produced by the machine has declined and they estimate that the machine will yield net cash flows of 23,000 each of the next three years (assume cash flows occur at the end of the year). Assume a discount rate of 10% and straight-line depreciation. What impairment does Third Eye Blind recognize at this time (rounded to the nearest dollar)? (Hint: Discounted cash flows approximate fair value)
Step 1 -: Computation of Carrying value of the asset
Machinery cost -: $100,000
Estimated Life - 5 years and Residual value-: $20,000
Depreciation per year -: ($100,000 - $20,000) / 5 years = $16,000
WDV of the machinery at the end of two years = $100,000 - ($16,000 X 2 years) = $68,000
Carrying Value of the asset -: $68,000
Step 2 -: Computation of recoverable value from the asset
Particulars | Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 |
Net Cash Flow | $ 23,000 | $ 23,000 | $ 23,000 |
PV Factor | 0.9091 | 0.8264 | 0.7513 |
Total present value of cash flow | $ 20,909 | $ 19,008 | $ 17,280 |
Total recoverable value | $ 57,198 |
Step 3-: Impairment loss -: Carrying Value - Recoverable amount
=$68,000 - $57,198
=$10,802
The Company needs to account for $10,608 as an impairment loss in the financial statements.
