Answer #1

The value of goodwill is arrived as below:

Goodwill = Total Consideration - Book Value of Equity*Percentage Acquired - Excess of Land's Fair Value Over Book Value - Excess of Building's Fair Value Over Book Value

Here, Total Consideration = Cash + Notes Payable = 720,000 + 304,000 = $1,024,000, Book Value of Equity = $1,200,000, Percentage Acquired = 80%, Excess of Land's Fair Value Over Book Value = $20,000 and Excess of Building's Fair Value Over Book Value = 35,000

Using these values in the above formula for Goodwill, we get,

Goodwill = 1,024,000 - 1,200,000*80% - 20,000 - 35,000 = $9,000

Answer is $9,000 (which is Option A).
