Answer:

$48 million

Explanation:

In this scenario, we compare the values between book value including goodwill and the fair value of machinery, the difference would be the loss on impairment of the asset

In mathematically,  

= Book value including goodwill - fair value  

= $450 million - $402 million

= $48 million
