6. Question 6.6.
(TCO C) Assume that on January 1,20X3, investors form New
Corp agrees to consolidate the operations of ABC Inc. and DEF
Company in a deal valued at $2.2 billion. New Corp organizes
each former entity as an operating segment. Additionally, ABC
has two divisions—ABC Hot and ABC Cold—along with DEF
that are treated as independent reporting units for internal
performance evaluation and management reviews. New Corp
recognizes $215 million as goodwill at the merger date of
January 1, 20X3 and allocates this entire amount to its reporting
units. That information and each reporting unit's acquisition-
date fair values are as follows.
New Corp’s Acquisition-Date Fair Values
Reporting Units Goodwill January 1, 20X3
ABC Hot $ 22,000,000 $950,000,000
ABC Cold 155,000,000 748,000,000
DEF Company 38,000,000 502,000,000
In December, 20X3, News Corp, a newspaper company,
performs an analysis for each of its three reporting units to
assess potential goodwill impairment. News Corp examines the
events that may affect the fair values of its reporting units. The
analysis reveals that the fair value of each reporting unit likely
exceeds its carrying amount except for ABC Cold. The goodwill
impairment test then reveals that ABC Cold’s fair value has
fallen to $60 million, well below its current carrying amount.
News Corp compares the implied fair value of ABC Cold’s
goodwill to its carrying amount. News Corp needs to determine
the implied fair value of goodwill. The fair value of ABC
Cold’s net assets as of December 31, 21X3 is shown below.
ABC Cold December 31, 20X3, fair value $60,000,000

impairment?
