    Hello Mike!

    During the year to 31 December 20X7 Systria acquired Dominica for $10 million, its tangible assets being valued at $7 million and goodwill on acquisition being $3 million. Assets with a carrying amount of $2.5 million were subsequently destroyed. Systria has carried out an impairment review and has established that Dominica could be sold for $6 million, while its value in use is $5.5 million.

    What is the carrying amount of the goodwill in (ii) following the impairment review?

    1. The answer can $1.5M.
    2. IAS 36 states that goodwill should be impaired first and should be zero. So how come in this question, the goodwill is $1.5M?

    Thanks.

    Is assets after the impairment are worth $7 million – $2.5 million, that gives us a fair vale of $4.5 million

    The the whole of Dominica has a recoverable amount of $6 million, so $1.5 million must be goodwill

    OK?
