Due to adverse economic conditions, Wilson's management determined that it should assess whether an impairment loss should be recognized for the equipment. The estimated undiscounted future cash flows to be provided by the equipment total $60 million, and the equipment's fair value at that point is $50 million. Under these circumstances, Wilson:

If an intangible asset has a legal life of eight years but contractually the usefulness is limited to six years, a company will amortize the cost over:

The allocation base for an asset is:

(Note: The following problem requires students to determine the amount of goodwill in a business acquisition, a Chapter 10 topic.) In 2016, Quasar Ltd. acquired all of the common stock of Penlight Laser for $124 million. The fair value of Penlight's identifiable tangible and intangible assets totaled $205 million, and the fair value of liabilities assumed by Quasar was $95 million. Quasar performed a required goodwill impairment test at the end of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. Management has provided the following information: Fair value of Penlight \ 115 million Fair value of Penlight's net assets (excluding goodwill) 107 million Book value of Penlight's net assets (including goodwill) 125 million Required: 1. Determine the amount of goodwill that resulted from the Penlight acquisition. 2. Determine the amount of goodwill impairment loss that Quasar should recognize at the end of 2018, if any. 3. If an impairment loss is required, prepare the journal entry to record the loss.

Murgatroyd Co. purchased equipment on January 1, 2016, for $500,000, estimating a four-year useful life and no residual value.
