Because the undiscounted cash flows of $175,000 is less than the NBV of $200,000, there has been an
impairment. We have to estimate the fair value then of our intangible. Most likely we will just DISCOUNT the
cash flows. Using a rate of 8%, they are:

Less: all liab. (500,000)
Net assets of reporting unit 2,400,000
STEP 1: Compare to fair value of reporting unit.
If fair value of the reporting unit is $2.8 million, step one passed and we are done.
BUT if the fair value of the reporting unit is $1.9 million, we have a problem and have to do step 2
STEP 2: Compute "implied fair value of goodwill"
ENTRY:
Impairment expense 500,000
Goodwill 500,000
* Assumes that the book value of the assets and liabilities are the same as their fair value.

STEP 2:
WE ESSENTIALLY PERFORM A NEW GOODWILL COMPUTATION, REPLACING PURCHASE
PRICE WITH FAIR VALUE OF REPORTING UNIT!
(a) This is an indefinite life intangible. We perform annual fair value estimate and determine that it is overvalued by $10k
(b) This is being amortized, we only test if it has "an indication of a change in circumstance". If there had been no change, th
lets say there was, then we would do an undiscounted cash flow analysis. The undiscounted cash flows exceed the NBV, so
BUT if not, then we would estimate fair value (probably by discounting the cash flows) and record the impairment.
(C ) Fixed assets just like we treat definite lived intangibles. We will assume that no "events or change in circumstance"
BUT if the fair value of the reporting unit is $2.5 million, we have a problem and have to do step 2
