Question:
Destin Company recently acquired several businesses and recognized goodwill in each acquisition. Destin has allocated the resulting goodwill to its three reporting units: Sand Dollar, Salty Dog, and Baytowne. Destin opts to skip the qualitative assessment and therefore performs a quantitative goodwill impairment review annually.
In its current year assessment of goodwill, Destin provides the following individual asset and liability values for each reporting unit:
