At the time of purchase, Tunneling's statement of financial position showed assets of $905,000, liabilities of $462,400, and owners' equity of $442,600. The fair value of Tunneling's assets is estimated to be $1,165,000. Assume that Flounder Corporation is a public company and that the goodwill was allocated entirely to one cash- generating unit (CGU). Two years later, information about the CGU is as follows: carrying amount $3,476,500; value in use $3,401,200; and the fair value less costs to sell $3,296,200. Determine if the goodwill is impaired. Goodwill is impaired . Calculate the goodwill loss on impairment, if any. (If goowill is not impaired, please enter O.) Goodwill impairment loss $

Answer 1

As per IAS 36, Impairment loss is the excess of carrying amount of an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount
Carrying amount = 34,76,500
Recoverable amount is higher of :
	- Assets fair value less costs of disposal				3,296,200
	- value in use				3,401,200
(i.e) Recoverable amount = 34,01,200
Impairment loss = 34,76,500 - 34,01,200
	= 75,300
