    Re Viagem … you have me worried! What do you mean “We don’t deduct the impairment from goodwill”?

    Why would you want to?

    This is what the question asks for:

    “(a) Calculate the consolidated goodwill at the date of acquisition of Greca.”

    In Viagem the question asks you:

    “(a) Calculate the consolidated goodwill at the date of acquisition of Greca.”

    As at the date of acquisition, there was no impairment!

    In Plastik, the goodwill impairment is expensed in Administrative Expenses and is deducted in the statement of financial position

    Working iv shows the goodwill calculation and the Administrative Expenses line in the Statement of Profit or Loss shows the $500 deduction

    I wonder why you can’t see it?

    OK?
