Purchase Company recently acquired several businesses and recognized goodwill in each acquisition. Purchase has allocated the resulting goodwill to its three reporting units: RU-1, RU-2, and RU-3. Purchase opts to skip the qualitative assessment and therefore performs a quantitative goodwill impairment review annually.In its current-year assessment of goodwill, Purchase provides the following individual asset and liability carrying amounts for each of its reporting units:

Carrying Amounts
RU-1 RU-2 RU-3
Tangible assets $215,500 $261,000 $158,250
Trademark 257,000
Customer list 154,500
Unpatented technology 232,500
Licenses 100,000
Copyrights 65,500
Goodwill 190,250 187,550 136,500
Liabilities (35,000)

The total fair values for each reporting unit (including goodwill) are $773,950 for RU-1, $736,450 for RU-2, and $743,500 for RU-3. To date, Purchase has reported no goodwill impairments.
