Accounting
In late July 2017, Bramble Ltd., a private company, paid $2.10 million to acquire all of the net assets of Sheffield Corp., which then became a division of Bramble. Sheffield reported the following statement of financial position at the time of acquisition:
Current assets

Long-term liabilities
265,000
Shareholders equity
1,185,000
$1,750,000
$1,750,000
It was determined at the date of the purchase that the fair value of the identifiable net assets of Sheffield was $1.70 million. Over the next six months of operations, the new division had operating losses. In addition, it now appears that it will generate substantial losses for the foreseeable future.

Current assets
$463,000
Non-current assets (including goodwill recognized in purchase)
2,600,000
Current liabilities
(704,000

(525,000
)
Net assets
$1,834,000
Prepare the journal entry to record the impairment loss, if any.
