The cost of land can include:

When originally purchased,a vehicle had cost $23,000,with an estimated residual value of $1,500,and an estimated useful life of 8 years.After 4 years of straight-line depreciation,the estimated useful life was revised from 8 to 6 years,but with zero residual value.The depreciation expense in year 5 should be:

At the end of the year,SportsWorld completed an asset impairment test and noted that a piece of equipment,with a book value of 12,000,has a recoverable value of $2,000.Calculate the amount of impairment loss on the equipment.
