Year Net Income

2011 $ 90,000

2013 120,000

2014 140,000*

2015 130,000

*Includes a nonrecurring gain of $40,000.

It is assumed that the average operating income of the past five years will continue. In this

industry, the average return on assets is 12% on the fair value of the total identifiable assets.

1. Prepare an estimate of goodwill based on each of the following assumptions:

a. The purchasing company paid for five years of excess earnings.

b. Excess earnings will continue indefinitely and are to be capitalized at the industry normal

return.

c. Excess earnings will continue for only five years and should be capitalized at a higher rate

of 16%, which reflects the risk applicable to goodwill.

2. Determine the actual goodwill recorded if Green pays $690,000 cash for the net assets of

Gold Corporation and assumes all existing liabilities.
