Impairment calculation assumptions for goodwill
Based on an analysis carried out by the group in 2019, the carrying value and value in use of cash generating units (CGUs) with goodwill that were most sensitive is:

As at 31 December 2019, the recoverable amount of Sunrise Dam exceeded its carrying amount by $143m. The Sunrise Dam CGU had $108m goodwill at that date.

It is estimated that a decrease of the long-term real gold price of $1,300/oz by 5%, would cause the recoverable amount of this CGU to equal its carrying amount. The sensitivity analysis has been provided on the basis that the key assumption changes without a change in the other assumptions. However, for a change in each of the assumptions used, it is impracticable to disclose the consequential effect of changes on the other variables used to measure the recoverable amount because these assumptions and others used in impairment testing of goodwill are inextricably linked.

Therefore it is possible that outcomes within the next financial year that are different from the assumptions used in the impairment testing process for goodwill could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts in future periods.

Net book value of goodwill allocated to each of the CGUs:

Real pre-tax discount rates applied in impairment calculations on CGUs for which the carrying amount of goodwill is significant are as follows:

Goodwill has been allocated to its respective CGUs where it is tested for impairment as part of the CGU . The group reviews and tests the carrying value of goodwill on an annual basis for impairment. The discount rates for 2019 were determined on a basis consistent with the 2018 discount rates.

The value in use of the CGU is $363m in 2019 (2018: $750m; 2017: $402m).
