17. (20 minutes) (Record a merger combination with subsequent testing for
goodwill impairment).
a. In accounting for the combination, the total fair value of Beltran (consideration
transferred) is allocated to each identifiable asset acquired and liability
assumed with any remaining excess as goodwill.
Cash paid $ 450,000
Fair value of shares issued 1 ,248,000
Consideration transferred $1,698,000
Entry by Francisco to record assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the
combination with Beltran:
Cash 75,000
Receivables 193,000
Inventory 281,000
Goodwill 400,000
Accounts payable 121,000
Long-term liabilities 450,000
Cash 450,000
b. Step one in goodwill impairment test:
Fair value of reporting unit as a whole 1,425,000
Book value of reporting unit’s net assets 1,585,000
Because the total fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value,
a potential goodwill impairment loss exists, step two is performed:
Fair value of reporting unit as a whole $1,425,000
Fair values of reporting unit’s net assets (excluding goodwill) 1 ,325,000
18. (20 minutes) (Goodwill impairment testing.)
a. Goodwill Impairment
Step 1
Fair value of reporting unit = $1,028
Carrying value of reporting unit = 1,094
Because fair value < carrying value, there is a potential goodwill impairment
loss.
Step 2
Fair value of reporting unit $1,028
Fair value of net assets excluding goodwill
Tangible assets $137
Recognized intangibles 326
Unrecognized intangibles 255 718
b.
Tangible assets, net $84
