 The formula for goodwill is: Goodwill = (Acquisition paid + Fair value of non-controlling interests + Fair value of equity interests) – Fair value of net identifiable assets Goodwill = 3,780,000 - 33,48,000 = 4,32,000  | 
So Goodwill of of Carla Vista Corporation on 31st May 2021 was $ 4,32,000/-
Part 2
No there was not any impairment loss to be accounted as Carla Vista Corporation as they have earned $ 4,32,000/- in goodwill.
Part 3
Assume that the fair value of the Carla Vista division is $2,106,000 instead of $2,376,000. Prepare the journal entry to record the impairment loss, if any, on December 31, 2021.
With Information given in part 3 I understand that there is no impairment loss. As fair value is much higher than goodwill earned on 31st May 2021 as per my considerate in part 1.
