12-107 Determining goodwill impairment - ASPE and IFRS
Gandaph Corporation purchased a division five years ago for $ 3 million. The division has been identified as a reporting unit that is cash-generating under IFRS. Management is reviewing the division for impairment of goodwill and has estimated the fair value of the reporting unit to be $ 3.8 million and the unit's value in use to be $ 3.9 million. In addition, there would be $ 75,000 in direct costs should the company decide to sell. The carrying amounts of the division's net assets, including the associated goodwill of $ 1,350,000, are listed below.
