Answer:
Debit : Impairment loss $1,250,000
Credit : Accumulated impairment loss $1,250,000
Explanation:
Impairment of an asset happens when, the Carrying Amount of an Asset is greater than the Net Realizable Value of an asset.
Carrying Amount is Cost of asset less Accumulated depreciation. Carrying Amount for the equipment is $10,000,000 ($11,250,000 - $1,250,000).
The Net Realizable Value of an asset is the higher of Fair Value of Asset and Future Value. For the equipment the Net Realizable Value is $8,750,000
Then, since Carrying Amount ($10,000,000) > Net Realizable Value ($8,750,000), the equipment is impaired.
Impairment loss will be $1,250,000 ($10,000,000 - $8,750,000).
The journal entry to record the impairment loss would be :
Debit : Impairment loss $1,250,000
Credit : Accumulated impairment loss $1,250,000
