    Answer and Explanation:

    The journal entries are shown below:

    a. Loss on Impairment Dr $ 3200,000

    To Accumulated Deprecation - equipment $3,200,000

    (Being the impairment loss is recorded)

    For recording this we debited the impairment loss as it increased the loss and credited the accumulated depreciation as it reduced the asset value

    The computation is shown below:

    Cost $7,000,000

    Less: Accumulated depreciation to date - $800,000

    Carrying amount $6,200,000

    Less: Fair value - $3,400,000

    Loss on impairment $2,800,000

    b. Depreciation expense Dr $850,000

    To Accumulated depreciation - equipment $850,000

    (Being the depreciation expense is recorded)

    For recording this we debited the depreciation expense as it increased the expense and credited the accumulated depreciation as it reduced the asset value

    The computation is shown below:

    = $3,400,000 : 4 years

    = $850,000

    c. No journal entry is required for increase in fair value
