impaired. It was impaired by $12 000 in the year to 30 June 2015, and by a further $12
000 in the year to 30 June 2016. (Hint: Because the non-controlling interest in Torquay is
being valued at fair value, then this will mean that the non-controlling interest will
incorporate a proportional share of goodwill. Therefore, any impairment in goodwill will
impact the non-controlling interest in Torquay Ltd.)
