Last year, the company recognized an impairment loss of $25,000 and properly reduced the asset's book value from $250,000 to $225,000. Using the asset's new base of $225,000, the company calculates depreciation for the current year to be $10,000, bringing the book value down to $215,000. However, the company has also determined that the asset's fair value has recovered and is now estimated to be $260,000. How should the company measure the asset on its current balance sheet? O The company should reverse the prior impairment and measure the asset at its fair value prior to the initial impairment of $250,000.

The company should not reverse the impairment and should not depreciate the asset further, leaving the book value at $225,000. O The company should reverse the prior impairment and measure…
