Accounting

Purchase Company recently acquired several businesses and recognized goodwill in each acquisition. Purchase has allocated the resulting goodwill to its three reporting units: RU-1, RU-2, and RU-3. Purchase opts to skip the qualitative assessment and therefore performs a quantitative goodwill impairment review annually.
In its current-year assessment of goodwill, Purchase provides the following individual asset and liability carrying amounts for each of its reporting units:
Carrying Amounts
RU-1 RU-2 RU-3
Tangible assets $197,000 $216,000 $193,500
Trademark 244,000
Customer list 128,000
Unpatented technology 177,000
Licenses 108,500
Copyrights 66,000
Goodwill 186,500204,150126,500
Liabilities (41,000)
The total fair values for each reporting unit (including goodwill) are $691,100 for RU-1, $673,050 for RU-2, and $692,550 for RU-3. To date, Purchase has reported no goodwill impairments.
How much goodwill impairment should Purchase report this year for each of its reporting units?
