Does GAAP require amortization of goodwill against net income? If not, when does goodwill decrease? A.Maybe, under IFRS goodwill is written off or reduced to a lesser value only when its value is impaired. Under US GAAP, goodwill is amortized. B.Yes, goodwill is always amortized against net income over the estimated useful life of the goodwill. C.No, under both the U.S. GAAP and IFRS goodwill is written off or reduced to a lesser value only when its value is impaired. D.Maybe, if goodwill is purchased, it should be amortized over the estimated useful life of the goodwill, if goodwill is created then it should not be amortized.


ANSWER


As per GAAP, self generated intangible assets cannot be recognised whereas acquired intangible assets can be recognised and amortized over its useful life.

Hence we can say that self generated goodwill cannot be amortized and acquired godwill can be amortized.
Correct Option is 
D) May be, if goodwill is ourchased, it should be amortized over the estimated useful life of the goodwill, if good will is ccreated then it should not be amortized.

Question: 7. A circular cam 200 mm in diameter rotates off centre with an eccentricity of 25 mm and operates the roller follower that is carried by the arm as shown in Fig. 23.35. ???200 mm +100mm- Spring 25 mm Fig. 23.35 The roller follower is held against the cam by means of an extension spring. Assuming that the force between the follower and the cam is approximately 250 N at the low position and 400 N at the high position. If the spring index is 7, find the diameter of wire, outside diameter of spring and the number of active coils. The maximum shear stress may be taken as 280 MPa. Use G 80 kN/mm2 ANSWER
