Based on the information available, we can calculate the goodwill impairment, if any for each of the years as follows:-
Recorded value of goodwill = Acquisition price - Fair value of identifiable assets = $449,590 - $375,500 = $74,090
Recorded value of goodwill = $74,090
Particulars | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 |
Step 1:- | |||
Fair value of reporting unit | 400,310 | 399,810 | 349,720 |
Carrying value of unit | |||
Carrying value of identifiable net assets | 329,448 | 320,151 | 299,920 |
Carrying value of goodwill | 74,090 | 60,644 | 60,644 |
Total carrying value of unit | 403,538 | 380,795 | 360,564 |
Excess of carrying value over fair value | 3,228 | -19,015 | 10,844 |
Step 2:- | |||
Fair value of reporting unit(A) | 400,310 | 349,720 | |
Fair value of identifiable net assts(B) | 339,666 | 325,640 | |
Implied fair value of goodwill(A-B) = D | 60,644 | 24,080 | |
Carrying value of goodwill(C) | 74,090 | 60,644 | |
Impairment on Goodwill(D-C) | -13,446 | -36,564 |
Please note that for 2015 there is no impairment on goodwill because the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than carrying value of reporting unit and hence Step 2 is not performed.
