Both Posey and Stargell use straight-line depreciation and amortization, including the amortization of bond discount and premium. On December 31, 20X7, Poseys management reviewed the amount attributed to goodwill as a result of its purchase of Stargell common stock and concluded that an impairment loss in the amount of $25,000 had occurred during 20X7 and should be shared proportionately between the controlling and noncontrolling interests. Posey uses the fully adjusted equity method to account for its investment in Stargell.
