Goodwill, Deferred Charges and Other Assets Goodwill The Partnership's goodwill balance was $5,814 at December 31, 2019 and 2018. The impairment assessment for the recorded goodwill was performed in October 2019 and did not indicate impairment of the goodwill. The fair value of the goodwill was calculated using both a discounted cash flow methodology and a market value methodology. The discounted cash flow projections were based on a ten-year forecast, from 2020 to 2029, to reflect the cyclicality of the Partnership's business. The forecast was based on prices and spreads projected by IHS Markit, a chemical industry organization offering market and business advisory services for the chemical market, for the same period, and estimates by management, including their strategic and operational plans. Other significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow projection included sales volumes based on production capacities. The future cash flows were discounted to present value using a discount rate of 9.5%. The significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the reporting unit using the market value methodology include the determination of appropriate market comparables and the estimated multiples of EBITDA a willing buyer is likely to pay.
