equipment with a carrying amount of $46,000 (cost of $62,000; accumulated depreciation of $16,000) may be impaired due to
technological obsolescence. Assume that the asset's value in use is determined to be $38,600 and its fair value less costs of disposal
(of $2,100) is $41,200. In addition, the expected future undiscounted net cash flows from the use of the asset and its later disposal are
