This was a bold move for AM, as the acquisitions represented a new venture for the company and the entrance into a new segment in which it had no experience. As a result of the transactions, AM initially reported $3.2 million of goodwill on its consolidated balance sheet, $2 million relating to the acquisition of ZD and $1.2 million relating to Hope. The New Segment ZD produces and sells high-end household accessories in retail markets across the United States. The company's top- selling products are its premium lines of kitchen and bathroom cabinet hardware and light xtures. ZD's products are primarily sold through large retailers and wholesalers in large metropolitan areas. In recent years, however, company management has made a focused effort on selling directly to consumers through the company website. Accordingly, ZD marketing personnel have developed strategic advertising approaches to direct customers to its commerce website. Management anticipates that this initiative will greatly improve product margins and, thus, it is expected that direct-to-consumer sales will surpass sales through retailers/wholesalers within the next ve years. Hope is a manufacturer of premium home decor with an emphasis on quality decorative linens and unique wall decorations. The company mainly sells its products in company-owned retail stores located in upscale shopping districts in urban populations. However, a limited line of Hope products can be found at other select brick-andmortar retailers. Additionally, the company generates a small amount of revenue via its website. Due to the nature of the company products, Hope management has faced several challenges in developing a greater online presence, yet these struggles have also hampered the expansion of its competitors. Ultimately, management has plans to develop brand awareness that will allow for brick-and- mortar expansion into more suburban areas. Upon the purchase of ZD and Hope, AM formally established a new segment, Household Goods, for nancial reporting purposes. The segment is headed by an executive team, which provides oversight of the management teams at both companies. AM's corporate controller, Tracy Roberts, was promoted to Vice President of FinanceHousehold Goods following the merger. From 2015 to 2018, the strategic acquisitions proved to be wise investments, as both ZD and Hope posted signicant growth and continued to produce unique products each year. In 2019, however, the companies moved in opposite directions. ZD continued its impressive growth. Hope, on the other hand, encountered signicant competition and regulatory setbacks, leading to diminished protability and derailing the company's strong start under AM's control. However, Hope did benet from some strategic land acquisitions in prior years that have appreciated considerably in value. Goodwill Prior to the acquisitions, in response to changes in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (i.e., U.S. GAAP) and in the interest of effective portfolio management, the company developed a policy of subjecting each reporting unit to formal quantitative impairment tests of goodwill every ve years, with the rst such test to take place for the scal year 2019 nancial statements. Due to the success onD and Hope each year and in comparison to competitors prior to 2019, AM nancial reporting personnel concluded, year after year, that a formal quantitative goodwill impairment test was unnecessary. However, pursuant to the new policy, the company made preparations toward the end of 2019 to test all of its reporting units. In conjunction with these tests, Roberts indicated that multiple xed asset groupings within Household Goods experienced signicant declines in market value, and thus the segment personnel would be testing all xed asset groupings for impairment. AM hired Dynamic Equity, a large consulting rm specializing in corporate valuation, to conduct appraisals that are necessary for the goodwill impairment testing process. In addition, Morgan Mickelson, AM's Director of Financial Reporting, requested nancial information from the accounting records of ZD and Hope from Roberts, including relevant fair value information regarding both companies' assets and liabilities. That information, in conjunction with Dynamic's appraisal reports, will be used in goodwill impairment testing. Dynamic's reports highlighted December 31, 2019 fair values in the amounts of $11,339,000 and $14,070,000 for ZD and Hope, respectively. At the time Mickelson made the request, Roberts was in the nal stages of overseeing impairment tests of the segment's xed assets, nalizing the valuation of inventory, and reviewing the impact of interest rate changes on the fair value of the company's bond obligations. Essentially, Roberts had compiled all of the necessary information for the consideration of these areas, and in the coming weeks, planned to run a nal analysis to determine their impact on the nancial statements. Roberts was condent that all of the other assets and liabilities were reported at appropriate amounts that approximated fair values. The preliminary 2019 Balance Sheet Summary for each company provided by Roberts is presented in Appendix A. In addition, Roberts also provided relevant information related to the ongoing impairment testing of property, plant, and equipment, valuation of inventory, and consideration of bonds payable: ' Property, Plant, & Equipment, net, is reported at historical cost less accumulated depreciation (i.e., $15,000,000 for ZD) on the preliminary 2019 Balance Sheet Summary. The tables in Appendix B contain information Roberts has compiled for xed asset impairment testing. ' Current Assets on the preliminary 2019 Balance Sheet Summary includes inventory reported with the last-in-rst-out (LIFO) approach, using the dollar-value LIFO method applied to a single inventory cost pool. Relevant information for these cost pools compiled by Roberts for the analysis of inventory valuation is presented in Appendix C. ' ZD's Bonds Payable consists of a single issuance of 8,000 bonds, each with a face value of $1,000 and a maturity date of 12/31/2024. The bonds have a coupon rate of 6 percent (payable annually) and were issued at face value. At 12/31/19, the prevailing market rate was 5 percent. Hope's Bonds Payable includes a single issuance of 6,200 bonds, each with a face value of $1,000 and a maturity date of 12/31/2023. The bonds have a coupon rate of 4 percent (payable annually) and were issued at face value. At 12/ 3 1/ 19, the prevailing market rate was 5 percent
