Impairment; property, plant, and equipment
• LO11–8
General Optic Corporation operates a manufacturing plant in Arizona. Due to a significant decline in demand for the product manufactured at the Arizona site, an impairment test is deemed appropriate. Management has acquired the following information for the assets at the plant:
Cost | $ 32,500,000 |
14,200,000 | |
General’s estimate of the total |
15,000,000 |
The fair value of the Arizona plant is estimated to be $11,000,000.
Required:
1. Determine the amount of impairment loss, if any.
2. If a loss is indicated, where would it appear in General Optic’s multiple-step income statement?
3. If a loss is indicated, prepare the entry to record the loss.
4. Repeat requirement 1 assuming that the estimated undiscounted sum of future cash flows is $12,000,000 instead of $15,000,000.
5. Repeat requirement 1 assuming that the estimated undiscounted sum of future cash flows is $19,000,000 instead of $15,000,000

INTERMEDIATE ACCOUNTING
- a H 12 15 18 An oil company paid a landowner $30,000 for the mineral rights underlying his property. The well was drilled and equipped at a cost of $900,000. It is estimated that 300,000 barrels of oil will be produced from the property. How should this cost be treated in the accounting records? The cost of the mineral rights should be capitalized and depleted over the estimated units of production. The drilling equipment should be capitalized and depreciated over its estimated useful life Both of the answers are correct. None of the answers are correct.arrow_forwardP11.1 (LO 2 ) (Depreciation for Partial Period—SL, SYD, and DDB) Alladin Company purchased Machine #201 on May 1, 2020.
