The toy trains division is regarded as a CGU. In paying $2 million for the net assets of Wolf Ltd, Bad Ltd calculated that it had acquired goodwill of $240 000.

 

The goodwill was allocated to each of the divisions, and the assets and liabilities acquired meas-red at fair value at acquisition date.

Brand — ‘Froggy’

$50 000

Goodwill

$50 000

Total
