We have to make a system of equations:
x + y = 7;  where x stays for pounds of Kenyan coffee, and y stays for pounds of Sri Lankan coffee. And: 3.50 * x + 5.60 * y = 33.95 ( total cost ).
From the 1st equation: x = 7 - y. We have to substitute it into the 2nd equation:
3.50 * ( 7 - y ) + 5.60 * y = 33.95
24.50 - 3.50 y + 5.60 y = 33.95
5.60 y - 3.50 y = 33.95 - 24.50
2.10 y = 9.45
y = 9.45 : 2.10
y = 4.5 lb;  x = 7 - 4.5 = 2.5 lb.
Answer: 2.5 lb of Kenyan coffee and 4.5 lb of Sri Lankan.

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The answer is $61,000

Explanation:

An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset is less than its fair value(prevailing market price).

The difference between the carrying value and fair value is written off. Carrying amount is the cost of acquiring an asset minus any subsequent depreciation and impairment charges.

Impairment Loss = Book Value – Market Value

Impairment Loss = $177,500 - $116,500

Impairment loss is $61,000
