7 A company owns an asset with an original cost of $300,000 and a current book value of $160,000. During a review of the asset for impairment, the company estimates the expected future cash flows from the use and disposal of the asset to be $200,000. There is an active market for this asset, and the fair value of the asset, calculated as the present value of expected future cash flows, is $140,000. Should this asset be considered impaired? O No, because the estimate of expected future cash flows (undiscounted) is greater than the book value. O No, because the estimate of expected future cash flows (undiscounted) is greater than the actual fair value. OYes, because fair value is less than the original cost. O Yes, because the fair value is less than the book value.
