Answer:

ACME Drilling should record impairment loss of $6.9 million

Explanation:

According to GAAP, when the fair value of an asset is below the net carrying amount of that asset ( Asset's historical cost - Asset's accumulated depreciation or the net book value of the asset), the Company should record it as asset impairment loss.

In ACME's case, the net book value is $18.6 million while the estimated fair value is only $11.7 million meaning that the platform is actually worth less than it is recorded on ACME's book. Thus, an impairment loss of $6.9 million should be recorded ( $18.6 million - $11.7 million) to realize the fair value of the oil-drilling platform.

The sum of projected sum of future cash flows in this case is not suitable to be used to determine the oil-drilling platform because it has not been discounted to the present value amount, and also, it is not appropriate under GAAP.

slamgirl [31]
She will save about $267.27 ($2160.24 - $1892.97) in interest over the course of a year if she transfers her balance to a credit card with an apr of 10.8%, compounded monthly. This problem can be solved using the compounding interest formula which stated as A = P*(1+i)^n. A is the amount affected by the compounding interest, i is the interest rate, and n is the period of time. You must find the amount using the 24.2% and 10.8% compounding interest and find the difference between them.

If the short put is exercised, the customer is obligated to buy the stock at $65 per share.
