In early 2015, Bowen Company acquired a new business unit in a merger. Allocation of the acquisition cost resulted in fair values assigned as follows:

Impairment reviews at the end of 2015 and 2016 did not identify any impairment losses. After the business suffered a downturn during 2017, the year-end impairment review yielded the following information:

1. Customer lists are estimated to have undiscounted future cash flows of \($250,000\) and discounted future cash flows of \($180,000.\)
2. Developed technology is estimated to have undiscounted future cash flows of \($500,000\) and discounted future cash flows of \($420,000.\)
3. The internet domain name is estimated to have undiscounted future cash flows of \($1,000,000\) and discounted future cash flows of \($750,000\). Qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the internet domain name is impaired.
4. Because of the economic downturn, Bowen bypassed qualitative assessment of the business unit (Step 0). The acquired business unit has a fair value of \($17,000,000\), a carrying amount of \($18,500\) 000, and the fair value of its identifiable net assets is \($14,200,000.\)
