Question:
Computing the amount of an impairment loss on tangible long-lived assets. Wildwood Properties owns an apartment building that has a book value of $15,000,000 on January 1. Year 14. The highway department has decided to construct a new highway near the building, which substantially decreases its attractiveness to tenants. Wildwood Properties estimates that it will now collect rentals from the building of $ 1 .400.000 a year for the next six years and that it will sell the building at the end of that time for $4,000,000. An appropriate interest rate to discount cash flows for this building is 10 percent. Assume that all cash flows occur at the end of the year.
