    The company should record a journal entry that includes: Debit to Impairment Loss $8,000

    Explanation:

    The company uses straight-line depreciation, Depreciation Expense each year is calculated by following formula:

    Depreciation Expense = (Cost of delivery truck - Residual Value) / Useful Life = ($30,000 - $2,000) / 7 = $4,000

    At the end of year 4, Accumulated depreciation = $4,000 x 4 = $16,000

    At the end of year 4, Book value of the truck = $30,000 - $16,000 = $14,000

    The company expects to sell the truck for $6,000 < Book value of the truck

    California Creamery should record Impairment Loss for $14,000-$6,000=$8,000

    The journal entry includes:

    Debit to Impairment Loss $8,000
