    Answer: It is not impaired

    Explanation:

    Goodwill $ 400,000

    Carrying amount. $ 800,000

    Fair Value $ 1,000,000

    Here, the fair value is more than the carrying amount. When the fair value or

    the market value is more than the carrying amount, there is no need of the impairment of goodwill.

    a. Goodwill associated with the MLD is not impaired because the fair value is greater than the carrying amount of MLD's net assets including the goodwill.

    b. No journal entry is required, since there is no impairment.
