Answer: Marigold should record $134,750 as an impairment loss on July 1, 2021

Explanation:

Given that  

Cost of the machine= 806,000

Expected life= 20 years

Time between January 1, 2011 and July 1 2021 = 10 1/2years

salvage value $76000.  

Fair value= $288, 000

We know that the

Carrying amount /Book Value of machine = Cost of the machine- (Cost of the machine-salvage value)/expected life x time (ie from 2011 and 2021)

Carrying amount of machine =806,000 - [(806,000-76,000)/20  x 10.5 years]

=806,000 -383,250=$422,750

Asset is impaired when the Book value is more than net realizable value,

Here, The Book Value of $422,750 is greater than  net realizable value,$395000.

Therefore  loss on Impairment= Carrying amount - Fair value

$422,750-$288000

=$134,750
