Assess fair value of cash generating unit, this can be done using present value technique Compare fair value with carrying value If fair value is lower than carrying value goodwill should be impaired and loss should be booked.
.
Under FASB ASU 2017 - 04
If the fair value of a reporting unit is exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired. If the carrying amount of a subsidiary unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
.
> If the fair value lower than carrying value, impairment exists.
Fair value of subsidiary = $4,950,000
Carrying value of subsidiary Investment = $5,310,000
Impairment of Loss on good will (Limit to its good will book value ) = $270000
