P12.8 Meridan Golf and Sports was formed on July 1, 2020, when Steve Powerdriver purchased Old Master Golf Corporation. Old Master provides video golf instruction at kiosks in shopping malls. Powerdriver's plan is to make the instruction business part of his golf equipment and accessory stores. Powerdriver paid $650,000 cash for Old Master. At the time of purchase, Old Master's statement of financial position reported assets of $550,000 and liabilities of $100,000 (shareholders' equity was $450,000). The fair value of Old Master's identifiable assets was estimated to be $700,000. Included in the identifiable assets was the Old Master trade name with a fair value of $15,000 and a copyright on some instructional books with a fair value of $25,000. The trade name had a remaining legal life of five years and can be renewed indefinitely at nominal cost. The copyright had a remaining life of 40 years.
Instructions
Assume that Meridan Golf and Sports is a private company reporting under ASPE.
a. Prepare the intangible assets and goodwill section of Meridan Golf and Sports at December 31, 2020. How much amortization expense is included in Meridan's income for the year ended December 31, 2020? Show all supporting calculations.
b. Prepare the journal entry to record the amortization expense for 2021. Prepare the intangible assets and goodwill section of Meridan Golf and Sports at December 31, 2021. (No impairment needs to be recorded in 2021.)
c. At the end of 2022, Powerdriver is evaluating the results of the instructional business. Due to fierce competition from Internet sites and television, the Old Master reporting unit has been losing money and has a carrying amount (including goodwill) of $450,000 and fair value (including goodwill) of $430,000. Powerdriver has collected the following information about the company's intangible assets:
Intangible Asset | Expected Cash Flows (Undiscounted) |
Fair Value | ||
Trade name | $11,000 | $ 8,000 | ||
Copyright | 30,000 | 25,000 |
Prepare the required journal entries, if any, to record impairment on Meridan's intangible assets and goodwill. (Assume that amortization for 2022 has been recorded.) Show supporting calculations.
P12.9 Use the data provided in P12.8. Assume instead that Meridan Golf and Sports is a public company. The relevant information for the impairment test on December 31, 2022, is as follows:

The impairment test for the identifiable assets would be performed first, and then the carrying amount of the CGU would be compared to its recoverable amount. The result, if the carrying amount > the recoverable amount, would be the loss on impairment – first assigned to goodwill with any remainder then allocated among the other assets on a relative book value basis.
