    1.3 million Impaired asset is the determined amount

    Explanation:

    Asset impaired as the estimated fair value cash flows is lower than book value

    Impairment loss = Fair value - Book value

    = 3.0 million - 4.3 million

    = 1.3 million Impaired asset

    An impaired asset is an asset that has a market value less than the value which was disclosed on the organisation balance sheet. When an asset is said to be impaired, it will need to be written down on the company's balance sheet to its current market value.
