Answer: $200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The loss on impairment refers to the difference between the carrying or book value of an asset and the fair/ recoverable value of same.

Loss on impairment = Book value - Fair value

= 760,000 - 560,000

= $200,000

The value of the machinery would fall by $200,000 to tally it to its fair value.
