    Answer: $70,000

    Explanation:

    Impairment is said to exist if the Carrying amount of an Asset exceeds it's value of Future cashflows.

    Calculating the Carrying amount therefore gives,

    = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation

    = 500,000 - 175,000

    = $325,000

    $325,000 > $300,000.

    The Carrying Value is greater than the future cashflows so Impairment exists.

    Impairment is calculated by,

    = Carrying Amount - Fair Value

    = 325,000 - 255,000

    = $70,000

    The amount of impairment loss recognized should therefore be $70,000.
