Determine the amount of goodwill


In 2009, Quasar LTD. acquired all of the common stock of Penlight Laser for $124 million. The fair value of Penlight's identifiable tangible and intangible assets totaled $205 million, and the fair value of liabilities assumed by Quasar was $95 million. Quasar performed the required goodwill impairment test at the end of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. Management has provided the following information:

Fair value of Penlight = 115 million
Fair value of Penlight's net assets (excluding goodwill) = 107 million
Book value of Penlight's net assets (including goodwill) = 125 million


Required:

2. Determine the amount of goodwill impairment loss that Quasar should recognize at the end of 2011, if any.
3. If an impairment loss is required, prepare the journal entry to record the loss.
