It gives treatment of impairment. Meaning you usually do this like Carrying amount of asset - depreciation. Here when a machine underperforms, its treated as impairment and thats taken out as
Carrying amount-depreciation-impairment
Dr. Impairment loss
Cr. Asset
This happens when the carrying amount of the asset is more than recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is higher of its VIU or FVLCS
VIU is present value of future cashflows FVLCS is the amount that can be recovered when you sell it which also excludes sellng costs

If VIU is 100k
FVLCS is 200K
Recoverable amount is FVLCS

VIU=VALUE in USE.
CF/(1+r)^1+CF/(1+r)^2...........+CF/(wacc-growth) x 1/(1+r)^5
You discount the cash flows to present value including the last year value called as terminal value.
FVLCS= Fair value of asset less costs of disposal or sale. Fair value of the asset is determined by independent valuator. Fair value of asset - Selling costs

Use online search for formulas. I also copy from them once in a while. Its always better to learn formulas from your own books cause online is not trustworthy
