ANSWER:
CORRECT OPTION IS (A) = $49,500.00
Calculation of amount of consolidated goodwill would be recognized from this acquisition
Consideration transferred for preferred stock = 1,98,000 .00
Consideration transferred for common stock = 918,660.00
Non controlling interest fair value for common = 612,440.00
Acquisition-date fair value = 1,98,000 .00 + 918,660.00 +612,440.00
= 1,729,100.00
Acquisition-date book value = (1,625,000.00)
Excess fair over book value = 1,729,100.00 - 1,625,000.00
= 104,100.00
to building = 54,600 .00
to goodwill = 104,100.00 - 54,600 .00 = $49,500.00
