1. MadDog Inc. owns equipment for which it paid $85 million. At the end of 2020, it had accumulated depreciation on the equipment of $15 million. Due to adverse economic conditions, MadDog's management determined that it should assess whether an impairment loss should be recognized for the equipment. The estimated undiscounted future cash flows to be provided by the equipment total $55 million, and the equipment's fair value at that point is $40 million. a. Under these circumstances, determine if MadDog should record an impairment loss and if yes, in what amount. Clearly indicate the steps that led to your conclusion. b. Make the necessary journal entry to record the impairment loss. If you determined that no entry is necessary, write "No entry". c. How would your answer change if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows to be provided by the equipment total $85 million instead of $55 million?
