On December 31 (1 year after the acquisition of CarStyle), Red River’s management conducted its annual impairment test for goodwill. Management has also assessed recent events and determined that it should review its plant and equipment and finite-life intangible assets for possible impairment. Management determines CarStyle to be the reporting unit, which is also the cash-generating unit. Management estimated that the fair value of the unit (CarStyle) with goodwill 1 year after the acquisition was $600,000; its value in use was $620,000; and the costs to sell were $40,000. The net assets of the unit, excluding goodwill, were appraised at $588,000. Assume that annual depreciation is $10,000, annual amortization for the customer list is $2,000, and the annual amortization for the other intangible assets is $7,000. Red River uses separate accounts for accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortization. Treat the customer list as a finite-life intangible asset. Management is unable to determine fair values for the reporting unit’s assets, but it estimates the following future cash flows for each of the unit’s assets with the exception of goodwill. Assume that Red River’s cost of capital is 5%.

Future Period	Plant and Equipment	Finite-Life Intangible Assets	Customer List
Year 1	103,000	22,000	33,600
Year 2	80,000	20,000	28,400
Year 3	41,000	17,800	21,200
Year 4	28,000	15,400	19,000
Year 5	0	13,000	17,600
Year 6	0	12,000	10,200
Year 7	0	7,800	6,000
