2,450,000
410,000
$3,190,000
2,270,000

It was determined at the date of the purchase that the fair value of the identifiable net assets of Conchita was $2,500,000. Over the next 6 months of operations, the newly purchased division experienced operating losses. In addition, it now appears that it will generate substantial losses for the foreseeable future.

Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity$3,190,000
Explanation / Answer
In the given case Sheridan Company acquired Conchita for $ 27,50,000/-
The Fair Market Value of Conchita on the date of acquisition was $ 2500000. So excess payment made for goodwill is $250000.
At the end of the year the fair value of conchita Division is $ 1850000
An asset is required to be Impaired if its Carrying amount exceed its Recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is greatest of the following:
a. Value in Use
b.Fair Value
Therefore in this case Goodwill have no value since it is incurring losses.So Goodwill of the Conchita Division having value of $ 250000 should be impaired first.
After impairing the goodwill the remaining assets which have carrying amount in excess of fairvalue should be impaired.But the carrying amount is not exceeding the fairvalue in case of other assets so not impairment require for other assets.
