The equipment has a useful life of 4 years and is depreciated using the straight-line method by both companies. (f) A goodwill impairment test in December 2014 revealed the need to impair goodwill by $221,600. No other impairment of goodwill has been recorded. For consolidation purposes the partial goodwill method is used. (g) All dividends are recognised before receipt of cash.
