An operational asset is impaired when it suffers a permanent loss of benefits due to casualty, lack of demand for the asset or obsolescence. If a write-down due to impairment is required by determining whether the value of an asset has fallen below its book value. the asset will be reduced on the balance sheet and the loss is normally reported in the income statement as a separate item included in operating expenses.

Is impairment costs a fixed cost?

Impairment costs are not considered fixed costs; they are classified as variable costs because they can fluctuate based on the value of an asset and its impairment assessment. Impairment occurs when an asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, leading to a write-down that can vary over time. This means that impairment costs can change with market conditions or operational performance, unlike fixed costs, which remain constant regardless of production levels.


What is impairment cost?

When assets are recorded a company's balance sheet, they are valued at historical cost (what was paid for the asset), less any accumulated depreciation or amortization if applicable. This holds true even if the market value of the asset is considerably more than what the company paid for it. However, if the market value of a company's assets drops significantly below the asset's historical cost, then it sometimes becomes necessary to revalue the asset at the lower market value. This revaluation is called impairment. When it is appropriate to impair an asset depends on the type of asset in question. The difference between the current book value of the asset, and the value of the asset after impairment, is your impairment expense (cost).
