Cheyenne Warner · Answer 1

The amount of impairment loss attributable to goodwill is the actual impairment loss of $47 million

Explanation:

The impairment loss = Carrying value - fair value

carrying value is $337 million

fair value is $290 million

the impairment loss=$337 million-$290 million

=$47 million

The amount of the impairment loss that would recorded for goodwill at end of 2021 is $47 million, hence the balance of goodwill would be $70 million ($117-$47)
