The amount of the Goodwill write-off required to be booked by Ajax at December 31, 2020 under the FASB rules effective in 2020 is:
= $130,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Recorded Goodwill = $330,000
Book value of net assets = $400,000
Book value of all assets = $730,000 ($400,000 + $330,000)
Estimated fair value of company = $600,000
Goodwill impairment = $130,000 ($730,000 - $600,000)
b) The Goodwill impairment of $130,000 arose when the book value or the carrying amount exceeded the estimated fair value.
