WebHelper Inc. acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Silicon Chips Corporation (SCC) for $45 million, of which $15 million was allocated to goodwill. At the end of the current fiscal year, an impairment test revealed the following: fair value of SCC, $40 million; book value of SCC’s net assets (including goodwill), $42 million. What amount of impairment loss should WebHelper recognize?

Respuesta :

Answer:

No impairment loss.

Considering SSC as the reporting unit.

The fair value of this unit shall be compared against the book value including goodwill.

Here,

Hence, there should be no impairment loss recognized by the WebHelper.
