    B) Decrease in goodwill : Not reported

    Explanation:

    Generally the measurement period should last a reasonable amount of time (it is not a fixed period but it shouldn't last more than a year), and during that time the buyer should try to make any adjustments regarding the recently acquired company and its assets. Many times an asset might have an assigned value that "should be" similar to the fair market value, but should is not the same as "is".

    Any adjustment made during the measurement period must be reported as part of the acquisition process. If the adjustments are made after the measurement period is over, there is no need to report it.
