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).

How to amortize Intangible assets?

Only to amortize intangible assets which are recognised as finite useful life. There are tow models, one is cost model, another is revaluation model. The way to charge intangible assets' amortisation is same as charging depreciation on physical non current assets. Carrying amount (net book value) is equal cost or re-valuated amount less any subsequent accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. However, Revaluations should be regularly made so the carrying amount does not differ from the recoverable amount (it is the higher amount of net realisable value or value in use) at the end of the reporting period. On the other hand, If the intangible assets are recognised as definite useful life, there is no need to charge amortisation on the profit and loss. But annually impairment test should be carried out. A impairment loss or a revaluation surplus will be adjusted on both income statement and balance sheet. Hope it is helpful!

How is technological obsolescence stated on balance sheet?

It's not. If inventory or assets have become impaired the impairment amount gets written off as an expense to the profit and loss. With fixed assets this normally happens when they are revalued.
