Gates Inc., a calendar year firm, currently uses a plant asset in operations that originally cost $110,000 and has a useful life of eight years and a $10,000 residual value. Gates uses the straight line depreciation method. As an impairment indicator was present, Gates reviewed the asset for impairment. 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.

On December 31, Year 1, Brown Brothers purchased machine A for $770,000 and machine B for $300,000. The machines are depreciated on the straight-line basis over 10 years with no salvage value. Brown reviews its assets for impairment annually. While doing the U.S. GAAP impairment analysis at year-end of Year 6, Brown determines that the expected future cash flows are $70,000 per year from machine A and $40,000 per year from machine B over the remaining lives of the assets. At December 31, Year 6, the fair values of machines A and B are $300,000 and $180,000, respectively. What amount of impairment loss should Brown report on its Year 6 income statement under U.S. GAAP? O A. $50,000 B. $85,000 O C. $35,000 OD. $0
