At January 1 of the current year, which is the beginning of the asset's third year of useful life, total remaining cash inflows attributable to the asset are estimated to be $120,000, while total cash outflows in running and maintaining the machine are estimated to be $65,000, Based on quoted prices and the condition of the asset, Gates estimates the fair value of the asset to be $40.000. The cost to sell the asset is approximately $5,000. Gates plans to continue to use the asset in production, although at a much lower rate of utilization. Required a. Record the impairment loss on January 1 of the current year. Date Jan 1 Account Name Date Dec 31 10 record impairment b. Record depreciation of the asset on December 31 of the current year. Assume no change in residual value. Account Name Dr. to record decenciation Cr. Dr. Cr.
