Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the fair value is less than the carrying value so the journal entry is recorded.

The journal entry is shown below:

Loss on impairment A/c Dr $30,000

To Goodwill A/c $30,000

(Being loss on impairment is recorded)

Impairment = Initial goodwill - Implied goodwill

= $300,000 - $270,000

= $30,000
