BE12-2 makes us learn that if any legal cost is incurred to defend an
intangible assets it should be added to the book value of intangible
asset and depreciated over its remaining useful life. Book Value is
determined by subtracting amortization till the date of incurring
legal cost from the purchase price.
BE12-3 provides us repeated practice to record amortization on
intangible asset
The take away from BE12-7 is how to test goodwill for impairment.
We test goodwill for impairment by comparing the Fair Value (FV)
with the Carrying Value(CV) of the reporting unit. If FV is less
than CV then we proceed further to test goodwill for impairment.

38. BRIEF EXERCISE 12-7
Because the fair value of the division exceeds the carrying amount of
the assets, goodwill is not considered to be impaired. No entry is
necessary.
BE12-6. This question helped us learn testing an intangible for
impairment. This test involves two steps Recoverability test and Fair
Value Test. In the Recoverability test we compare the Future Cash
Flows and the Carrying Amount of the intangible. Here in this
question the future cash flows of $210,000 are less than the carrying
value therefore there is an impairment. Now we apply the second
test to find the amount of impairment loss by comparing the fair
value ($110,000) with the carrying value (300,000). The impairment
loss here is $190,000 ( 300,000-110,000).Please note that the
intangible is now reported only at $110,000
BE12-12. Point to note in this question is that the Research and
Development cost of $96,000 is not added to the cost of intangible
but only the legal expenses of n$85,000 to defend the intangible is
added.

39.
EXERCISE 12-15
(a) December 31, 2010
Loss on Impairment.............................. 15,000,000
Goodwill......................................... 15,000,000
The fair value of the reporting unit ($335 million) is below its
carrying value ($350 million). Therefore, an impairment has
occurred. To determine the impair-ment amount, we first find the
implied goodwill. We then compare this implied fair value to the
carrying value of the goodwill to determine the amount of the
impairment to record.
