In the vehicle account, the depreciation will reduce the NBV. So, I'm doubtful about the 8,00,000 because in the subsequent years, if you want to sell the asset, it will be valued at cost less accumulated depreciation less impairment. 

 

 

These are the easiest journal entries that I ever came across. You can follow them by changing inventory name to Car. The treatment is the same. 

Account Debit Credit
Impairment of inventory (expense) XXX  
Inventory   XXX

 


The claim is agreed with the insurance company.
Account Debit Credit
Accounts receivable XXX  
Insurance compensation (income)   XXX

The cash is received from the insurance company
Account Debit Credit
Cash XXX  
Accounts receivable   XXX

I hope you got the first entry

Impairment of asset

 To Asset a/c
