1. Answers for blanks:
- 3400000
-5000000
-carrying Amount/Netbook Value
-Recoverable Amount

Impairment Loss = Netbook value -Recoverable Amount
Therefore, Impairement Loss = 6200000-5000000 = 1200000

It is assumed that company follows Streight line method.
No Salvage Value at the year end
Depreciation = 5000000/4 = 1250000
