EXHIBIT 7-12 Normal Relationship and Impaired Relationship Among Values of an Asset
In a normal relationship, estimated future cash flow represents the largest of the three amounts, followed by fair value, and then net book value. An impaired relationship exists if net book value exceeds estimated future cash flows. The process of accounting for asset impairment requires two steps:Step 1:Test the asset for impairment.If net book value > Estimated future cash flows, then the asset is impaired.Step 2:If the asset is impaired under Step 1, compute the impairment loss.Impairment Loss = Net Book Value Fair Value (Harrison, 02/2013, pp. 426-427)
