    No goodwill impairment should be recognized by Orioles in 2018

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Goodwill related to the purchase = $741,000

    Fair value of Special Products Division = $5,600,000

    Goodwill existing on December 31, 2018 = $595,000

    Now,

    Here, the fair value of division including the goodwill i. e $5,600,000 is lower than the fair value of division excluding the goodwill i. e $595,000

    Hence,

    There will be impairment loss

    Hence,

    No goodwill impairment should be recognized by Orioles in 2018
