How much goodwill exists on 1/1/20?
Calculation of Goodwill:
1)Total Value of Dodo Corp:
a) Capital Stock- $1,000,000
b) Retained Earnings- $1,600,000
c) Identified Patent value- $ 140,000
Hence, Total value= Capital Stock + Retained Earnings + Identified Patent value(Market Value)
= $1,000,000+$1,600,000+$140,000
= $2,740,000
2) Purchase Consideration - $2,800,000
Hence, Goodwill= Purchase Consideration - Total Value of Dodo Corp(1/1/20)
= $2,800,000- $2,740,000
= $60,000
Value of Goodwill as on 1/1/2020 = $60,000
