Ask the Tutor ACCA SBR

Full Disposal and goodwill

Ttrainee15y ago
Dear tutor, Thank you for your lectures and hope you are fine. I have 2 questions regarding full disposal. 1 - Should we consider the value of goodwill at date of acquisition or its fair value at date of disposal? I saw a question and as far as I understood it ignored the fair value at date of disposal and considered the value of goodwill at date of acquisition. I just want to make sure it is correct? 2 - What about impairment if the goodwill is impaired since acquisition. Should we deduct the impairment from goodwill? I feel the answer to this question is yes, but again I want to make sure it is correct? Thank you very much

1. Only consider FV of the components of the goodwill calculation at the time of ACQUISITION. 2. At time of disposal, you would use the carrying amount of goodwill - after impairment has been deducted. :)
