Question

Indus Corporation pays $100,000 for the trademark rights to a line of soda equipment. After several years, sales for this line of soda equipment are disappointing, and the company estimates the total future cash flows from sales will be only $110,000. The estimated fair value of the trademark is now $60,000. What is the amount of the impairment loss to be recorded

Answer 1

impairment loss = $40,000

Step-by-step explanation:

In accounting, impairment loss refers to the decrease of an asset's carrying value. In order to calculate the impairment loss, you need to subtract the current market value of the asset from its original carrying value.

impairment loss = carrying value - current market value = $100,000 - $60,000 = $40,000
