Belvedere Inc. acquired a patent on January 1, 2009 for $3,900,000. It was expected to have a 10 year life and no residual value. Belvedere uses straight-line amortization for its patents. On December 31, 2012, the expected future cash flows from the patent are $259,000 per year for the next six years. The present value of these cash flows, discounted at Belvedere's market interest rate, is $1,060,000. What amount, if any, of impairment loss will be reported on Belvedere's 2012 income statement? $2,340,000. $670,000. $1,060,000. $1,280,000.

$1,280,000. Correct! Amortization charged to date is $3,900,000/ 10 years X 4 years = $1,560,000 so the carrying value of the patent at December 31, 2012 is $2,340,000 ($3,900,000- $1,560,000). The impairment loss is the difference between the carrying value and the discounted expected future net cash flows: $2,340,000 - $1,060,000 = $1,280,000. COST 3,900,000/10 YEARS X 4 YEARS = 1,560,000 CARRYING VALUE @ 12-31-2012: 3,900,000 - 1,560,000 = 2,340,000 IMPAIRMENT LOSS = CARRYING VALUE - PRESENT VALUE OF NET CASH FLOWS (DISCOUNTED): 2,340,000 - 1,060,000 = 1,280,000

What amount of loss on impairment of goodwill should Berber record in 2014? $ -0- $1,500,000 $2,250,000 $2,300,000

$1,500,000 The fair value of the Division ($19,700,000) is less than the carrying value of its net assets ($22,000,000), therefore the test for goodwill impairment is necessary. Implied goodwill is ($19,700,000 - $17,450,000) $2,250,000. The loss on impairment is ($3,750,000 - $2,250,000) $1,500,000.

$12,011,000. $9,850,000 plus $1,425,000 plus $736,000 (14,720,000/20) totals $12,011,000.

$4,480,000 The fair value of the assets is $27,620,000, less the liabilities of $8,550,000 results in a net value of $19,070,000. Goodwill is ($23,550,000 - $19,070,000) $4,480,000.
