The codification that addresses Goodwill is 350-20 and the codification that addresses the other intangible assets is 350-30. To continue, according to codification 350-20-20 goodwill is, “an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination or an acquisition by a not-for-profit entity that are not individually identified and separately recognized”.
In addition, according to codification 350-20-35-1, “Goodwill shall not be amortized. Instead, goodwill shall be tested for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit”. Furthermore, according to codification 350-20-35-48 “Subsidiary goodwill shall be tested for impairment at the subsidiary level using the subsidiary’s reporting units. If a goodwill impairment loss is recognized at the subsidiary level, goodwill of the reporting unit or units (at the higher consolidated level) in which the subsidiary’s reporting unit with impaired goodwill resides must be tested for impairment if the event that gave rise to the loss at the subsidiary level would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit (at the higher consolidated level) below its carrying amount. Only if goodwill of that higher-level reporting unit is impaired would a goodwill impairment loss be recognized at the consolidated level”.

The authoritative guidance for asset impairments is on codification 360-10-35. The types of transactions to apply these standards are the following: “There are unique requirements of accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of”.
According to codification 360-10-35 the following events would be a cause for an asset to be tested for impairment: “A significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset (asset group). A significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset (asset group) is being used or in its physical

    If the carrying value of the unit is less than its fair value, no impairment exists and the second step of the impairment test is not required.

    When we are using IFRS to examine an impairment of Eagle’s Italy building, one is recognized “if, and only if, the recoverable amount of the building is less than its carrying amount. The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss.” (IAS 36-59). In order to see if this IFRS is present we must first determine the recoverable amount, which is the higher of a cash-generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use (IAS 36-18). Therefore recoverable amount would take the highest of the $900,000 value in use and the $800,000 fair market value less costs to sell. Then IFRS can determine if there is impairment by seeing that the carrying amount of $1,100,000 is greater than the $900,000 value in use. Thus under IFRS an impairment loss of $200,000 has occurred.…

In regards to the municipal bounds, its amortized cost, $8,500,000 exceeds its fair value, $7,500,000. And corporate bonds’ amortized cost, $8,300,000 also exceeds its fair value, $6,800,000.

    On April 22, 2011, the FASB issued a Proposed Accounting Standards Update, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. Under the proposed ASU, entities testing goodwill for impairment would have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit (i.e., step 1 of the goodwill impairment test). If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not greater than the carrying amount, a quantitative calculation would not be needed. The proposal would not change how goodwill is calculated or assigned to reporting units, nor would it revise the requirement to test goodwill annually for impairment. In addition, the proposed guidance does not amend the requirement to test goodwill for impairment between annual tests if events or circumstances warrant; however, it does revise the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider. These circumstances include: • Macroeconomic conditions such as a deterioration in general economic conditions, limitations on accessing capital, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, or other developments in equity and credit markets Industry and market considerations such as a deterioration in the environment in…
