Impairment of an asset happens when its Carrying Amount is greater than its Recoverable Amount.

Carrying Amount

Carrying Amount = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

                             = $ 4,960,000

Recoverable Amount

Is the higher of :

Therefore Recoverable Amount is $4,000,000

Impairment

Carrying Amount  > Recoverable Amount, therefore the Equipment Was impaired

The impairement loss is $ 960,000

Step 2 Calculate the depreciation 2018.

Depreciation Charge = Cost / Useful life

                                   = ($5,600,000 - $640,000 -  $ 960,000) / 4
