Answer:

a. No impairment should be reported

Explanation:

In the given situation, we compare the expected future net cash flows and the higher value of book value and fair value.

The comparison is shown below

Since the expected future net cash flows from the equipment i.e $1,630,000 is more than the book value of equipment $1,600,000. The value comes in negative

So, no impairment loss would be recognized
