Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Intangible Assets and Acquisitions [Text Block] | Intangible Assets and Acquisitions Goodwill Impairment Charge In the fourth quarter of 2017, we completed a qualitative assessment for impairment of goodwill as of October 1, 2017, concluding it was not more likely than not that the carrying value of our reporting unit's net assets exceeded the reporting unit's fair value and therefore no impairment of goodwill existed as of December 31. 2017. During 2016 and 2015, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $151.3 million and $1,170.0 million, respectively, in our Core U.S. segment. Intangible Assets Amortizable intangible assets consist of the following:

At December 31, 2017, the amount of goodwill attributable to the Core U.S. and Acceptance Now segments was approximately $1.3 million and $55.3 million, respectively. At December 31, 2016, the amount of goodwill allocated to the Acceptance Now segment was approximately $55.3 million and there was no goodwill allocated to the Core U.S. segment.

Purchase prices are determined by evaluating the average monthly rental income of the acquired stores and applying a multiple to the total for rent-to-own store acquisitions. All acquisitions have been accounted for as asset purchases, and the operating results of the acquired stores and accounts have been included in the financial statements since their date of acquisition. The weighted average amortization period was approximately 21 months for intangible assets added during the year ended December 31, 2017. Additions to goodwill due to acquisitions in 2017 were tax deductible.
