Answer #1

Consideration transferred on aquisition of control - $700,000

Fair value of net assets of company:

Current assets - $120,000

Plant and equipment - $870,000

Total assets - $990,000

Less: net liabilities - $360,000

Net assets at fair value = $630,000

Therefore, Goodwill = Consideration - FV of net assets

= $700,000 - $630,000

= $70,000

Elimination adjustment entry, for consolidating company's financial statements-
