Intella Manufacturing, Inc. has only one plant asset used in production. The asset had a cost of $535,000 and has been depreciated for 2 full years since the date of acquisition. This accounting resulted in a total accumulated depreciation of $220,000. The firm expects the asset to be productive for an additional 3 years and projects the asset's future cash flows to be $132,000 per year. Information about the company's products indicates that the asset might be impaired. Should the firm record an impairment loss for the current year? (Provide supporting computations.) First, calculate the carrying value of the asset using the table below. Less: Carrying value of asset Part 2 Next, conduct an impairment test for the asset using the table below.

1. In 20X4, ABC Mining Inc. purchased land for P5,600,000 that had a natural resource supply estimated at 4,000,000 tons. When the natural resources are removed, the land has an estimated value of P640,000. The required restoration cost for the property is estimated to be P800,000. Development and road construction costs on the land were P560,000, and a building was constructed at a cost of P88,000 with an estimated P8,000 salvage value when all the natural resources have been extracted. During 20X5, additional development costs of P272,000 were incurred, but additional resources were not discovered. Production for 20X4 and 20X5 was 700,000 tons and 900,000 tons, respectively.
