    Accounting Question Help Please?
    Equipment purchased on January 2011 for $10,000,000 and had an estimated useful life of 8 years with no salvage value. At December 31, 2012, new technology was introduced that would accelerate the obsolescence of Rolando's equipment. Rolando's controller estimates expected future net cash flows on the equipment will be $6,300,000 and the fair value of the equipment if $5,600,000. Roland intends to continue using the equipment, but it is estimated that the remaining useful life is 4 years. Roland uses straight line.

    A) Prepare journal entry (if any) to record the impairment at December 31, 2012.

    B) Prepare any journal entry for the impairment at December 31, 2013. The fair value of the equipment at December 31, 2013 is estimated to be $5,900,000.

    C) Repeat the requirements for (A) and (B), assuming Roland intends to dispose of the equipment and that it has not been disposed of as of December 31, 2013
