- During 2015, Coleman Company acquired Monet Company for $950,000, of which $110,000 was allocated to Goodwill. At the end of 2017, Coleman company tested for the possible impairment of Goodwill and provided the following information:
Fair Value of Monte$840,000
Fair Value of Monte’s net Assets [excluding Goodwill]$790,000
Book Value of Net Assets [including Goodwill]$885,000
What, if any, is the impairment loss suffered on the value of Goodwill for Coleman Co.’s newly acquired business?
FV - $840,000 is less than BV - $885,000 -- So there is an impairment loss.
FV of Monte [with Goodwill] $840,000
Less: FV of Monet [without Goodwill]($790,000)
Equals: Implied Value of Goodwill $50,000
Carrying Value of Goodwill$110,000
Less: Implied Value of Goodwill($ 50,000)
Equals: Goodwill Impairment Loss 60,000
