Answer:
$20 million
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Book value of assets in 2005 = $1,200 million
Fair value of assets in 2005 = $955 million
Book value of assets in 2006 = $720 million
Fair value of assets in 2006 = $700 million
Now,
Impairment Loss = Fair value - Carrying value of Net assets
or
Impairment Loss
= Fair value of assets in 2006 - book value of assets in 2006
= $700 million - $720 million
= - $20 million [ Here, the negative sign means a loss]
Hence,
Impairment loss of $20 million
