Ans:
Impairment loss is measured as the excess of carrying amount of the asset over its recoverable amount.
-Recoverable amount: “The higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value in use.”
Value in use: -Discounted expected future cash flows.
Lets calculate the carrying amount
Depreciation = (Cost of Purchase - Salvage value)/ Life of asset
= (360000-15000)/8
= 43,125
Lest calculate the book value

Closing value |

$ 360,000 |
$ (43,125) |
$ 316,875 |
2 |
$ 316,875 |
$ (43,125) |
$ 273,750 |
Carrying value of asset $ 273,750
Expected Cash flow from machinery is $ 270,000
Since expected cash flow is less than carrying value
a.Impairment loss will be $3,750(273,750-270,000)
b.Carrying value of asset $ 273,250
Expected Cash flow from machinery is $ 230,000
Since expected cash flow is less than carrying value - there will be impairment of machinery
Impairment loss = carrying cost- Expected cash flow
=273,250 - 230000
= $43250
Note:
The above is Correct Under IFRS ,
Under IFRS Impairment loss is calculated as difference between carrying value less Recoverable Amount
Recoverable amount= The higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value in use.”
Value in use: -Discounted expected future cash flows
Under US GAAP
Impairment loss is calculated as difference between carrying value less Market value if the undiscounted cash flows are lower than carrying value.
and In Case If you are following US GAAP
Then
Under US GAAP
1) Impairment loss = Carrying cost- Market value = 273,750- 190,000 =$ 83750
