Goodwill and revenue
7y ago#1I'm not aware that it is an "assumption". However, future earnings / revenue stream will usually be a significant factor in determining the purchase price of a business and hence the consideration paid for goodwill (excess over tangible net assets). So revenue less than forecast would most likely be an indicator of impairment.
