Harmony Resorts Inc. owns and manages resort properties. On January 15, 2008, one of its properties was found to be adjacent to a toxic chemical disposal site. As a result of the negative publicity, this property's bookings dropped 40% during 2008. On December 31, 2008, the accounts of the company showed the following details regarding the impaired property:
Land ................... $ 30,000,000
Buildings and improvements (net) ....... 120,000,000
Equipment (net) .............. 25,000,000
Total ..................$175,000,000
