What happens on the financial statements when Goodwill impairment increases by 100?

When Goodwill impairment increases by 100, it impacts the financial statements in the following ways:

1. Balance Sheet: Goodwill is an intangible asset on the balance sheet. When an impairment is recognized, the value of the Goodwill asset decreases. This reduces the total assets on the balance sheet.

2. Income Statement: The impairment loss is recognized as an expense on the income statement. This increases the total expenses for the period, which reduces the net income or increases the net loss.

3. Cash Flow Statement: Although the impairment loss reduces net income, it is a non-cash expense. This means it is added back to the net income in the operating activities section of the cash flow statement. Therefore, the impairment loss does not impact the cash flow from operating activities.

4. Equity: As the net income decreases due to the impairment loss, retained earnings, a part of shareholders' equity, also decreases. This reduces the total equity on the balance sheet.

5. Ratios: Various financial ratios are also affected. For example, return on assets and return on equity decrease because net income decreases. The asset turnover ratio decreases because total assets decrease. The equity ratio also decreases because total equity decreases.
