6 marks electric automobiles. The equipment is being depreciated using the double declining
balance method.
During the 2023 year, new robotic technology was developed which is more efficient and
precise in manufacturing large machinery such as cars. Some of Saber's competitors have
already adopted this technology. Consequently, Saber conducts an impairment evaluation
of its robotic equipment purchased in 2022. The following information was gathered during
this evaluation, as of Saber's year end date of December 31,2023 :
Undiscounted future cash flows
Expected costs of disposing of the equipment
Fair value of robotic equipment
Present value of future cash flows (value in use)
Cost of robotic equipment
Accumulated depreciation on robotic equipment at December 31,2023
$483,714
Saber Industries follows ASPE.
Required:
Determine the amount of the impairment loss, if any, for the robotic equipment for the 2023
year. Prepare an entry to record any required adjustment.
