In 2018, Martin Corp. acquired Glynco and recorded goodwill of $117 million. Martin considers Glynco a separate reporting unit. By the end of 2021, the net assets (including goodwill) of Glynco are $337 million and its estimated fair value is $290 million. The amount of the impairment loss that Martin would record for goodwill at the end of 2021 is:

In this case, we have to find the amount of the impairment loss that Martin would record for goodwill at the end of 2021. As we know the difference between carrying value and the fair value of machinery is the loss on impairment of the asset.

= $320 million - $260 million

= $60 million

Hope it will find you well.

fair value is $290 million

the impairment loss=$337 million-$290 million
