Answer 1

Answer:

Pout should report goodwill of $20,000

Explanation:

Pout Company's assets with a carrying value = $420,000

Goodwill = $35,000

Pout Company's net assets carrying value = 420,000-35,000 = $385,000

Fair value of the reporting unit is currently = $350,000

Fair Value of Net assets = 350000-35000 = $315,000

Carrying value of the net assets held by the reporting unit = $330,000

Value of Goodwill after impairment = 35,000-15,000 = 20,000
