Chadwick Enterprises, Inc., operates several restaurants
throughout the Midwest. Three of its restaurants located in the
center of a large urban area have experienced declining profits due
to declining population. The company’s management has decided to
test the assets of the restaurants for possible impairment. The
relevant information for these assets is presented below.
Book value | $ | 8.5 | million |
Estimated undiscounted sum of future cash flows | 5.0 | million | |
Fair value | 4.5 | million | |
Required:
1. Determine the amount of the impairment
loss.
2. Determine the amount of the impairment loss
assuming that the estimated undiscounted sum of future cash flows
is $8.8 million and fair value is $6.0 million.
(Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.
Enter your answers in millions rounded to 1 decimal place, (i.e.,
5,500,000 should be entered as 5.5)).
Answer- 1)- The amount of the impairment loss = $4 million.
Explanation- The impairment loss will be recognized when book value is exceed from estimated undiscounted sum of future cash flows.
Book value of assets = $8.5 million
Estimated undiscounted sum of future cash flows = $5.0 million.
Impairment loss = Book value of assets- Fair value of assets
= $8.5 million - $4.5 million
= $4 million.
2)- The amount of the impairment loss = Nil.
Explanation- There is no impairment loss because estimated undiscounted sum of future cash flows is exceed from book value of assets.
Book value of assets = $8.5 million
Estimated undiscounted sum of future cash flows = $8.8 million.
