Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The carrying value of Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the carrying value of the net assets and their fair value. The carrying value of net assets is $425 million, and the fair value is $320 million. The difference is $105 million, which means the Goodwill is impaired by $105 million, reducing its carrying value to nil.
