Question

How do I solve this?

**Goodwill Impairment**

Bruceton Farms Equipment Company had goodwill valued at $80 million on its balance sheet at year-end. A review of the goodwill by the company’s CFO indicated that the goodwill was impaired and was now only worth $50 million.

What is the financial statement effect of the goodwill impairment? (Enter the amount of the change, using negative numbers when appropriate.)

| **Assets change by**     | $  |  ✘ million |
|--------------------------|----|------------|
| **Liabilities change by** | $  |  ✘ million |
| **Equity changes by**     | $  |  ✘ million |
| **Net income changes by** | $  |  ✘ million |

The user is prompted to enter the appropriate figures to reflect changes due to the goodwill impairment. The "Check" button presumably allows users to verify their input.
