Question - Tamarisk Enterprises, Inc. operates several stores throughout the western United States. As part of an operational and financial reporting review in a response to a downturn in its markets, the company's management has decided to perform an impairment test on five stores (combined). The five stores' sales have declined due to aging facilities and competition from a rival that opened new stores in the same markets. Management has developed the following information concerning the five stores as of the end of fiscal 2019.

Original cost $36,080,000

Accumulated depreciation $9,960,000

Estimated remaining useful life 4 years

Estimated expected future annual cash flows (not discounted) $4,060,000 per year

Appropriate discount rate 4 percent
