Splish Company uses special strapping equipment in its packaging business. The equipment was purchased in January 2016 for $12,500,000 and had an estimated useful life of 8 years with no salvage value. At December 31, 2017, new technology was introduced that would accelerate the obsolescence of Splish’s equipment. Splish’s controller estimates that expected future net cash flows on the equipment will be $7,875,000 and that the fair value of the equipment is $7,000,000. Splish intends to continue using the equipment, but it is estimated that the remaining useful life is 4 years. Splish uses straight-line depreciation.

a    December 31, 2017 loss on impairment [$9375000 - $7,000,000] 2375000
To Accumulated Depreciation    2375000

Note:- if carrying value of assets is greater than the future cash inflow, then consider the fair value

Carrying value = $12,500,000 - [12,500,000 / 8 years * 2 years]

=$12,500,000 - 3125000

   = $9375000

b    December 31, 2018    Depreciation expense [$7,000,000 / 4 years] 1750000
To Accumulated Depreciation 1750000
c    December 31, 2017 loss on impairment 2375000
To Accumulated Depreciation 2375000
December 31, 2018 Accumulated Depreciation 375000
To Recovery of impairment loss [$7,375,000 - $7,000,000 ] 375000
