    C. $0.4 million.

    Explanation:

    Impairment of an asset is the difference between the carry amount (NBV) of the asset and the higher of the value in use or the fair value less cost to sell. The value in use is the estimated future cash flow from the asset.

    From the question

    Net book value (NBV) = $4.1 million

    Estimated future cash flows = $3.7 million

    Fair value = $3.1 million

    Higher of the value in use or the fair value = $3.7 million

    Impairment = $4.1 million - $3.7 million

    = $0.4 million
