Answer:

(a)-debit to accumulated depreciation of $40,000

(b)-debit to loss on impairment of $12,000

(c)-credit to assets of $52,000

Step-by-step explanation:

There will be a debit to accumulated depreciation to the total of $40,000 to show the accumulated depreciation so far.

There will be a debit to loss on impairment of $12,000 because the net book value after depreciation is to be $60,000 yet an impairment loss was indicated that took this value to $48,000 so then the impairment loss must be 60,000 - 48,000 which is $12,000.

The assets will be credited to the tune of $52,000 as their balance needs to be reduced by the accumulated depreciation and the impairment loss.
