Required:
Prepare an excel worksheet with 3 tabs.
1) A fair value allocation that shows the calculation of goodwill relative to the acquisition, and calculates the annual amount of amortization. (Hint: not all of the goodwill on Polly Co.'s balance sheet relates to its Suzie acquisition.)
2) A consolidating worksheet that shows the computation of the consolidated balances for Polly Co. and Suzie Co. as of December 31, 2016. Each consolidating journal entry should be labeled with its identifying letter.
3) A consolidating worksheet that simulates a goodwill impairment loss for 2016 (hint: only the amount of goodwill relating to the Suzie Co. acquisition is considered impaired.)
