Fryer, Inc., owns equipment for which it paid $90 million. At the end of 2011, it had accumulated depreciation on the equipment of $27 million. Due to adverse economic conditions, Fryer's management determined that it should assess whether an impairment should be recognized for the equipment. The estimated undiscounted future cash flows to be provided by the equipment total $60 million, and the equipment's fair value at that point is $40 million. Under these circumstances, Fryer would record.
A. an impairment loss on the equipment of less than $1,000.
B. no impairment loss on the equipment.
C. a $23 million impairment loss on the equipment.
D. a $3 million impairment loss on the equipment.
