What happens to the 'Accumulated Depreciation' account when an impairment loss is recognized for an asset group under U.S. GAAP?
- It is credited for the amount of the impairment loss, reducing the net book value.
- It remains unchanged; the loss is recorded only in a separate 'Impairment' account.
- It is debited to increase the value of the asset.
- It is reset to zero and a new account is started.
