2. During 20X4, Porpoise sold inventory to Salamander with a \(30\%\) gross profit as follows: Intercompany sales - downstream sale of \(\$ 160,000\)
Goods remaining in Salamander's inventory at December 31-\(\$ 160,000\)
3. Management has determined that Salamander is a cash-generating unit (CGU). Porpoise tests its investment in Salamander each year for impairment and allocates the loss, if any, first to goodwill. Goodwill was impaired by \(\$ 20,000\) and \(\$ 30,000\) for fiscal years 20 X 3 and 20X4, respectively.
4. On July 1,20X3, Salamander sold Porpoise equipment with a net book value of \(\$ 70,000\) for a cash consideration of \(\$ 40,000\). The equipment originally cost Salamander \(\$ 90,000\). It had a remaining useful life of six years at the date of the intercompany sale. Assume that the loss is not an impairment loss.
5. Neither company paid dividends in 20X4. The income tax rate has remained at \(40\%\) for both companies since 20X2. Ignore future income taxes on the purchase price discrepancy.

a) i. Prepare a schedule showing the calculation of goodwill at Salamander's acquisition date.
