Vaughn Manufacturing has equipment with a carrying amount of $2620000. The expected future net cash flows from the equipment are $2650000, and its fair value is $2040000. The equipment is expected to be used in operations in the future. What amount (if any) should Vaughn report as an impairment to its equipment?

The answer is $610,000

Explanation:

Impairment charge is made on an asset whenever the fair value(most times fair value less cost to sales is less than the carrying value).

And under US GAAP, if the fair value is less than future net cash flow from the equipment.

So back to the question;

Fair value is $2,040,000

Future cash flow is $2,650,000

Impairment charge is therefore,

$2,650,000 - $2,040,000

$610,000

forbearance of student loan payments. under forbearance, your loan payments are postponed (or reduced) but interest continues to accrue during the period of forbearance. if you don't pay the interest during that period, the interest may be “capitalized,” which means it is added to your principal balance.
