1) Calculate the value of goodwill at the time of acquisition? Show your work.
2) Prepare MacGregor’s journal entry at August 31, 2019 for the purchase of Snow Peaks.
3) Suppose the valuation of the goodwill on May 31, 2020 is determined by a business valuator to be $200 million. Prepare a journal entry if necessary.
1)
Fair value of asset = $990 million
Fair value of liabilities = $425
Fair value of the company = Assets - Liabilities
= 990 - 425
= $565
Purchase price = $850
Goodwill = Purchase price - Fair value of company
= 850 - 565
= $ 285
2)
Journal entry of acquisition ( Amount in million).
Assets account debit. $990
Goodwill account debit. $565
To liabilities account credit. $425
To cash account credit. $850
3)
Goodwill = $200 million
Reduction in Goodwill = 565 - 200 = $365 million.
Journal entry ( Amount in million)
Goodwill impairment account debit $365
