RESEARCH CASE SOLUTION
Jonas recognized several identifiable intangibles from its acquisition of
Innovation Plus. Jonas expresses the desire to expense these intangible assets
in the acquisition period.
1. Advise Jonas on the acceptability of its suggested immediate write-off.
2. Indicate the relevant factors to consider in allocating the values assigned to
identifiable intangibles acquired in a business combination.
The accounting for a recognized intangible asset is based on its useful life to
the reporting entity. An intangible asset with a finite useful life is amortized;
an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized. The useful
life of an intangible asset to an entity is the period over which the asset is
expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of that
3. Jonas’ suggested treatment of goodwill is inappropriate. To ensure that
4. Per the FASB ASC (350-20-35-41):
For the purpose of testing goodwill for impairment, all goodwill acquired in a
business combination shall be assigned to one or more reporting units as of
the acquisition date. Goodwill shall be assigned to reporting units of the
MICROSOFT IMPAIRMENT ANALYSIS CASE SOLUTION
The following all can be found in Microsoft Corporation’s 2012 10-K annual report.
1. Microsoft’s OnOnline Services Division incurred a $6.193 billion goodwill
impairment loss assess on May 1, 2012
Online Services Division (“OSD”) develops and markets information and
content designed to help people simplify tasks and make more informed
2. Goodwill impairment appeared on the 2012 income statement and cash flow
statement as follows:
3. The impairment was the result of the OSD unit experiencing slower than
projected growth in search queries and search advertising revenue per query,
slower growth in display revenue, and changes in the timing and
implementation of certain initiatives designed to drive search and display
4. Microsoft’s Note 10 – Goodwill (page 64) states the following:
We tested goodwill for impairment as of May 1, 2012 at the reporting unit level
using a discounted cash flow methodology with a peer-based, risk-adjusted
weighted average cost of capital. We believe use of a discounted cash flow
approach is the most reliable indicator of the fair values of the businesses.
capital used to calculate the discounted cash flows of OSD in estimating the
fair value of the business. This business-specific risk factor reflects the
increased uncertainty in forecasting the future performance of OSD.
Because our annual test indicated that OSD’s carrying value exceeded its
estimated fair value, a second phase of the goodwill impairment test (“Step 2”)
was performed specific to OSD. Under Step 2, the fair value of all OSD assets
FASB ASC AND IASB RESEARCH CASE
1. GAAP prohibits reversal of impairment losses for goodwill. IFRS also
prohibits reversal of impairment losses for goodwill
2. Requirements for goodwill impairment differ under IFRS. Under IFRS, goodwill
impairment testing uses a one-step approach: The recoverable amount of the
CGU (cash-generating unit) or group of CGUs (i.e., the higher of its fair value
IAS 36 Impairment of Assets:
88. When, as described in paragraph 81, goodwill relates to a cash-generating
unit but has not been allocated to that unit, the unit shall be tested for
90. A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated shall be
tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the
104. An impairment loss shall be recognised for a cash-generating unit (the
smallest group of cash-generating units to which goodwill or a corporate
asset has been allocated) if, and only if, the recoverable amount of the unit
(group of units) is less than the carrying amount of the unit (group of units).
The impairment loss shall be allocated to reduce the carrying amount of the
assets of the unit (group of units) in the following order:
