In this case, the economy had been suffering from a recession leading to lower output, aggregate demand and real GDP. The government can boost the economy by engaging in expansionary fiscal policy.
Government can implement expansionary fiscal policy by increasing government spending on goods and services, which will directly increase aggregate demand, thus boosting income and real GDP. Alternatively the government can lower tax rate. When individual tax rate falls, personal disposable income rises, increasing consumption demand and aggregate demand. When business tax rate falls, corporate net profits rise, which encourages firms to invest more in expanding their output. Higher investment by corporate firms increase aggregate demand.

Answer:
Dr goodwill impairment $34200
Cr goodwill $34200
Explanation:
The fact that the fair value of Blossom’s net identifiable assets is less than the carrying value is a strong indication that the goodwill has been impaired and the impairment is computed thus:
Goodwill impairment=Fair value of net assets-carrying value
fair value of net assets=$820,800
Carrying value of net assets=$855,000
goodwill impairment=$855,000-$820,800=$34200
The double entries would be a debit to goodwill impairment loss account in the statement of profit or loss and a credit to goodwill.
