Ans:B.
The company will report an impairment loss in the income statement:
The facilities fail the recoverability test, the net book value cannot be recovered from undiscounted cash flows: 7 yrs x $3 = $21 < $28.4. Therefore, the asset is impaired. The asset should be written down to its fair value.
Fair Value: PV of future benefits: (N=7; i=10; PMT=3): PV = 14.6
Impairment Loss: Carrying Value – Fair Value: 28.4 - 14.6 = 13.8 to be reported on the income statement
