Sheffield Corp. bought a machine on January 1, 2011 for $814000. The machine had an expected life of 20 years and was expected to have a salvage value of $82000. On July 1, 2021, the company reviewed the potential of the machine and determined that its future net cash flows totaled $408000 and its fair value was $273000. If the company does not plan to dispose of it, what should Sheffield record as an impairment loss on July 1, 2021

$156,700

Explanation:

Depreciation expense = [Cost-salvage value] /useful life

Depreciation expense = [814000 - 82000]/20

Depreciation expense = $36600

1 January 2011 - 1 July 2021 = 10.5 years . Total depreciation = 10.5 * $36600= 384,300

Book value as on 1 July 2021 = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

Book value as on 1 July 2021 = 814000-384300

Book value as on 1 July 2021 = 429700

Net realizable value = Lower of future cash flow or fair value

Lower of 408000 or 273000

Net realizable value = 273000

Now, since the Book value is more than net realizable value, Asset is impaired

Impairment loss = $273,000 - $429,700

Impairment loss = $156,700

Thus, Sheffield should record $156,700 as an impairment loss on July 1, 2021.

answer: most likely c

explanation:

the answer is true.  i do believe this is the answer because of the amount of wrecks people get into each year.  if you double this with avoiding those so said wrecks, that would make you a "skilled" driver.
