Respuesta :

Answer:

$1.48 million

Explanation:

Particulars                                           Amount

Net working capital                            $2.12 million

Add: Market value of fixed assets     $33.90 million

Total fair value                                    $36.02 million

Goodwill =  Purchase price of N Home Fashions  - Total fair value of N Home Fashions  

= $37.5 million - $36.02 million

Therefore, the amount of goodwill is $1.48 million.
