Estimated implied fair value of reporting unit

(without

goodwill)

$420,000

Existing net book value of reporting unit

$380,000

a. The existing net book value plus goodwill is in excess of the implied fair value, therefore, no adjustment is required.

b. The existing net book value plus goodwill is less than the implied

fair value plus goodwill, therefore, no adjustment is required. c. The existing net book value plus goodwill is in excess of the

implied fair value, therefore, goodwill needs to be decreased. d. The existing net book value is less than the estimated implied

fair value; therefore, goodwill needs to be decreased.
