Answer:
Cullumber Company
Journal Entry:
Debit Loss on Goodwill Impairment $34,200
Credit Goodwill $34,200
To record the loss on goodwill impairment.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculation:
Fair value = $820,800
Carrying value of net identifiable assets, including goodwill = $855,000
Goodwill impairment = $34,200 ($855,000 - $820,800)
b) Cullumber, which acquired Blossom is expected to check for the impairment of goodwill yearly. The impairment occurs when the carrying value of the net identifiable assets of Blossom is more than the fair value of Blossom. Generally Accepted Accounting Standards require the annual review of the fair value of goodwill to check for its impairment. By the above entry, the goodwill will be reduced by $34,200 and a loss debited in Cullumber's accounts.

Also it will lead to a decrease in profit of existing firms as the new firm gets some of the market share
<span>To calculate the cost of goods sold we use the following formula:
beginning inventory + the cost of goods purchased or manufactured = cost of goods available ending inventory.

Adding up all costs for the period comes to $173,000.</span>
