    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Recorded goodwill = $320 million

    Year-end book value = $655 million

    Fair value of Demski at this date = $775 million

    Demski's identifiable tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill) = $712 million

    Now,

    The fair value of Demski's Company i. e $775 million is greater than the recorded book value on 2016 year-end.

    Hence,

    No impairment loss will be recorded by Antle's Company for goodwill at the end of 2016.

    Therefore,
