    At July 1, 2020 the equipment is impaired. The impairment loss is $20000

    Journal

    Impairment loss - Equipment $ 20000 (debit), Accumulated impairment loss $20000 (credit)

    Explanation:

    Impairment loss is recognized when the Recoverable Value of an asset is less than the Carrying Amount of the of an asset.

    Recoverable Value of the Equipment

    The Recoverable Value of Equipment is the Higher of:

    1. Value in use of the equipment

    Value in use is the Present Value of future cash flows to be obtained from the asset (through use and disposal of asset at the end of its useful life).

    Zeibart estimates $125000 from use of equipment. Thus Value in use is $125000

    2. Fair Value less of disposal

    Fair value is the amount obtained on sale of the equipment in an orderly market transaction

    Fair Value on July 1 2020 is $90000

    Therefore the recoverable amount is $ 125000 (Value in use) which is higher.

    Carrying Amount of the Equipment

    Carrying Amount of the Equipment is Cost Less Accumulated Depreciation and Previous Impairment losses.

    Cost = $225000

    Accumulated Depreciation

    Depreciation per year = ($225000-$25000) / 10 = $20000

    Depreciation July 1, 2016 to July 1, 2020 = $20000 * 4 YEARS = $80000

    Accumulated depreciation up to July 1, 2020 is thus $80000

    Carrying Amount of the Equipment is$145000 ($225000 - $80000)

    Impairment Test

    Carrying Amount $ 145000 > Recoverable Amount $ 125000

    Therefore the equipment is impaired.

    Impairment loss is $ 145000 - $1250000 = $ 20000
