Respuesta :

Answer:

$330,000

Explanation:

Goodwill in business acquisition is defined as the excess of the acqusition price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired company.

Workings

Purchase price = $3,500,000

Fair value of current asset = $830,000

Fair value of PPE = $2,940,000

Fair value of liabilities = $600,000

Fair value of net identifiable asset = (830,000+2,940,000-600000)

$3,170,000

Good will = 3,500,000 - 3,170,000=$330,000
