As indicated in the annual report of the company in year 2016,the value of goodwill is being taken as $27.1 million and life of the goodwill has been astaken as indefinite. The goodwill is being the most important of the business, it cannot bedividend on individual basis to each Cash Generating Units of the group, and so wholeamount of the goodwill is being distributed to the business as whole. In order to carry out theimpairment of goodwill there is need to find out the recoverable amount that such asset willprovide in future years(Myer Holdings Limited 2016 Annual Report, 2016). For this purposevalue in use of the goodwill is compared with the recoverable amount of goodwill and anydifference is termed as impairment amount which has to be deducted to measure the actualcarrying value of goodwill for that year. For the rest of assets impairment is carried throughsame method but the life of assets has been taken on the basis of their productivity. In orderto calculate the discounted cash flow from the assets, management has used projections overthe five years on the basis of the financial budgets and growth rate.
