Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its recoverable amount. The carrying amount is the cost of the asset minus accumulated depreciation, which is $210,000 - $140,000 = $70,000. The recoverable amount is the fair value of the asset, which is $45,000. Therefore, the impairment loss is $70,000 - $45,000 = $25,000.
