Question:

Purchase Company recently acquired several businesses and recognized goodwill in each acquisition. Purchase has allocated the resulting goodwill to its three reporting units: RU-1, RU-2, and RU-3. Purchase opts to skip the qualitative assessment and therefore performs a quantitative goodwill impairment review annually. In its current-year assessment of goodwill, Purchase provides the following individual asset and liability carrying amounts for each of its reporting units:

Carrying Amounts RU-1 RU-2 RU-3 Tangible assets Trademark $180,000 $200,000 $140,000 170,000 Customer list 90,000 Unpatented technology 170,000 Licenses 90,000 Copyrights 50,000 90,000 Goodwill 120,000 150,000 Liabilities (30,000)

The total fair values for each reporting unit (including goodwill) are $510,000 for RU-1, $580,000 for RU-2, and $560,000 for RU-3. To date, Purchase has reported no goodwill impairments. How much goodwill impairment should Purchase report this year for each of its reporting units?
