International Foods, a U.S. company, acquired two companies in 2013. As a result, its consolidated financial statements include the following acquired intangibles:

Intangible Asset	Date of Acquisition	Fair Value at Date of Acquisition	Useful Life
Customer relationships	January 1, 2013	$3,200,000	10 years
Favorable leaseholds	June 30, 2013	4,800,000	12 years
Brand names	June 30, 2013	14,400,000	Indefinite
Goodwill	January 1, 2013	400,000,000	Indefinite

Goodwill was assigned to the following reporting units:

Asia	$80,000,000
South America	120,000,000
Europe	200,000,000
Total	$400,000,000

It is now December 31, 2014, the end of International Foods' accounting year. No impairment losses were reported on any intangibles in 2013. Assume that International Foods bypasses step 0 of the goodwill impairment test. The following information is available on December 31, 2014:

Intangible Asset	Sum of Future Expected Undiscounted Cash Flows	Sum of Future Expected Discounted Cash Flows
Customer relationships	$960,000	$720,000
Favorable leaseholds	4,800,000	3,520,000
Brand names	11,200,000	5,600,000

Reporting Unit	Unit Carrying Value	Unit Fair Value

South America	160,000,000	280,000,000
Europe	480,000,000	400,000,000
