In this way, Jonas hopes to minimize the possibility of goodwill impairment because a decline…
King Company is contemplating the purchase of a smaller company, which is a distributor of King's products. Top management of King is convinced that the acquisition will result in significant synergies in its selling and distribution functions. The financial management group (of which you are a part) has been asked to analyze the effects of the acquisition on the combined company's financial statements. This is the first acquisition for King, and some of the senior staff insist that based on their recollection of goodwill accounting, any goodwill recorded on the acquisition will result in a “drag” on future earnings for goodwill amortization. Other younger members on the staff argue that goodwill accounting has changed. Your supervisor asks you to research this issue.

Therefore, I also expected to see a figure for the Alpha brand name included within intangible assets. There doesn’t appear to be any amount for the Alpha brand name included within intangible assets and I don’t understand why. The Alpha brand name has been developed within Alpha for a number of years and is well regarded by our customers. Surely, it’s a mistake not to include it as well? In other word, I wonder whether the non-inclusion of the Alpha brand would affect the usefulness of the financial information?”.arrow_forwardAlomar Co., a consolidated enterprise, conducted an impairment review for each of its reporting units.
