Fair value of Centerpoint Inc. = $330 million
Book value of Centerpoint's net assets (excluding goodwill) = 298 million
Book value of Centerpoint's net assets (including goodwill) = 360 million 
  
Required:
 1) Determine the amount of the impairment loss. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in millions (i.e., 10,000,000 should be entered as 10)). 
2) Determine the amount of the impairment loss assuming that the fair value of Centerpoint is $392 million. (Enter your answer in millions (i.e., 10,000,000 should be entered as 10)). 

Expert Solution

1.)

Value of Goodwill= Fair Value of Centrepoint Inc.- Book Value of Net assets (excluding goodwill)

= $330 million- $298 million

= $32 million

 

Loss on Impairment of Goodwill= Goodwill recorded- Value of Goodwill

= $62 million- $32 million

= $30 million

 

2.)

Impairment loss is zero because fair value of $392 million is more than book value which is $360 million.
