Destin Company recently acquired several businesses and recognized goodwill in each acquisition. Destin has allocated the resulting goodwill to its three reporting units: Sand Dollar, Salty Dog, and Baytowne. Destin opts to skip the qualitative assessment and therefore performs a quantitative goodwill impairment review annually.

In its current year assessment of goodwill, Destin provides the following individual asset and liability values for each reporting unit:

Carrying Amounts Fair Values
Sand Dollar
Tangible assets $ 267,000 $ 285,900

The fair values for each reporting unit (including goodwill) are $781,400 for Sand Dollar, $789,900 for Salty Dog, and $712,750 for Baytowne. To date, Destin has reported no goodwill impairments.
