Answer:
The amount of the impairment loss that should be recognized is:
$20,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Undiscounted cash flows = $95,000
Carrying value = Â $100,000
Fair value = Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 80,000
Impairment loss = $20,000
b) Impairment loss for the asset group is the difference between the fair value and the carrying value. Â It is recognized when the fair value declines from the carrying value. Â This implies that the calculation to determine the impairment loss is achieved by deducting the fair value from the carrying value.
