On May 28, 2021, Pesky Corporation acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Harman, Inc., for $590 million. The fair value of Harman's identifiable tangible and intangible assets totaled $631 million, and the fair value of liabilities assumed by Pesky was $169 million. Pesky performed a goodwill impairment test at the end of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Management has provided the following information: Fair value of Harman, Inc. $570 million
Fair value of Harman's net assets (excluding goodwill) 510 million
Book value of Harman's net assets (including goodwill) 594 million

Required:
a. Determine the amount of goodwill that resulted from the Harman acquisition.
b. Determine the amount of goodwill impairment loss that Pesky should recognize at the end of 2021, if any.
c. If an impairment loss is required, prepare the journal entry to record the loss.

Explanation:

Calculation of Goodwill -

$ in Million$ in Million

Consideration given $ 590

Less: F.V of Harman's net assets

Assets

631

Less: F.V of Liabilities

(169)(462)

Goodwill on acquisition $ 128

2. The impairment loss Pesky would recognize at the end of year 2021 is $ 68 million , since the book value of the net assets exceeds its fair value.

Calculation :-

(To record the impairment loss

bd = 9 cm

step-by-step explanation:

in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the ratio of side lengths is 1 : √3 : 2. that is, the longest side (hypotenuse) is twice the length of the shortest side.

all of the triangles in your geometry are 30°-60°-90° triangles. ac is the hypotenuse of δacd, and the short side of δabc.

the short side ad of δacd will be half the length of ac, so 3 cm. the hypotenuse ab of δabc will be twice the length of ac, so 12 cm. segment bd is the difference of the lengths ab and ad, so is

bd = ab -ad

bd = 12 cm - 3 cm = 9 cm

comment on side length ratios

you can figure the ratios of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle by considering the trig ratios of the angles. or you can figure the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side length 2 using the pythagorean theorem.

years agooo ahaha. but honestly they need to update ! : )
