Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of impairment loss that should be recognized is $20,000,000

Explanation:

In order to calculate the amount of impairment loss that should be recognized we would have to make the following calculation:

amount of impairment loss=Carrying value - Fair value

Carrying value=$100,000,000

Fair Value=$80,000,000

Therefore, amount of impairment loss=$100,000,000-$80,000,000

amount of impairment loss= $20,00,000

The amount of impairment loss that should be recognized is $20,000,000
