first let us know the implied value of goodwill:
fair value of centerpoint inc | $247 million |
less:fair value of net assets (excluding goodwll) | (221)million |
implied value of good will | $26 million |
now,
book value of goodwill | $59 million |
less:implied value of good will | (26 million) |
impairment loss | $33 million |
