Incorrect. There is no second step in the goodwill impairment test. The impairment is equal to the difference between the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the reporting unit. Wilson Corporation is performing the test of impairment of its Technology reporting unit at the end of the year. Wilson has determined the fair value of the unit using a multiple of earnings approach at $2,000,000. The carrying value of the net assets of the Technology unit is $2,100,000. What should Wilson do with this information? Record an impairment loss of $100,000. Record no impairment loss. Perform step 2 of the test of impairment. Value goodwill individually. The purpose of the Larkspur Division is to develop a nuclear-powered aircraft. If successful, traveling delays associated with refueling could be substantially reduced. Many other benefits would also occur. To date, management has not had much success and is deciding whether a write-down at this time is appropriate. Management estimated its future net cash flows from the project to be $415 million. Management has also received an offer to purchase the division for $330 million (deemed an appropriate fair value). All identifiable assets' and liabilities' book and fair value amounts are the same. Prepare the journal entry to record the impairment at December 31, 2025. (If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. List debit entry before credit entry.)
