Impairment loss arises when the recoverable amount from asset(higher of fair value less cost to sell and value in use) is lesser than the carrying value of asset.

From the assets table as on 30.06.2014, cash can never be impaired and we are given that receivables are fully collectible (not impaired).

So, carrying value of impaired assets will be = $200,000 Plant + $40,000 Patent + $60,000 Goodwill

= $300,000

Recoverable amount (excluding cash and accounts receivable) = $280,000 – ($20,000 + $50,000)

= $210,000

So, impairment loss = $300,000 - $210,000

= $90,000
