On January 1, 2014, Borstad Company purchased equipment for $1,180,000. It is depreciating the equipment over 25 years using the straight-line method and a zero residual value. Late in 2019, because of technological changes in the industry and reduced selling prices for its products, Borstad believes that its equipment may be impaired and will have a remaining useful life of 8 years. Borstad estimates that the equipment will produce cash inflows of $400,000 and will incur cash outflows of $295,000 each year for the next 8 years. It is not able to determine the fair value of the equipment based on a current selling price. Borstad's discount rate is 12%.

1. Prepare schedules to determine whether, at the end of 2019, the equipment is impaired and if so, the impairment loss to be recognized.

2. Prepare the journal entr to record the impairment.

    a) Purchase cost - 1,180,000

    Useful life - 25

    Annual depreciation = 47,200

    Timeline - Jan 1, 2014 - 2019 = 6 years

    Accumulated depreciation = 47200*6=283,200

    Carrying value at 2019 = (1,180,000 - 283,200) = 896,800

    B) Annual cash flow - 400,000

    Annual cash outflow - (295,000)

    Net cash inflow = 105,000

    Net cash flow for 8 years = 105000*8 = 840000

    Since the net cash inflow is less than the carrying value, there is an impairment.

    PV value of the net cash inflow at 12% discount for 8 years = 521,602

    Impairment loss = $375,198

    At December 21.2019

    2.) Debit impairment loss - $375,198

    Credit equipment - $375,198
