The equipment was assumed to have an 8-year useful life and no residual value, and was to be depreciated using the straight-line method.

Management calculated that the undiscounted future net cash flows from the equipment was $580,750, the discounted future net cash flows was $515,100, and the current fair value of the equipment (after costs to sell) was $505,000.
