    Explanation:

    Excess goodwill = Actual value - Existing value = 750,000 - 600,000 = 150,000

    Amount to be recognized = [Value recorded - Existing value]/[Fair value - Total value] = [750,000 - 600,000]/[6,000,000 - 5,100,000] = 150,000/900,000 = 0.16 which is close to 0

    Therefore, goodwill impairment that should be recognized by General Products in 2015 is 0
