See Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121. Under this standard if the undiscounted future cash flows from the asset (including sale amount) are less than its carrying amount, a loss is recognized. The amount of the impairment loss is measured by subtracting the asset’s fair value from its carrying value.
