Jungleland’s assets and liabilities had the following appraised values immediately prior to the acquisition: land, $1.7 million; buildings, $3.4 million; inventory, $2.2 million; long-term notes payable, for which Backstreets Co. assumes payment responsibilities, $1.5 million. Required: How much goodwill will result from this transaction? (Enter your answers in whole dollars.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The goodwill is $1.1 million

Explanation:

In this question, first we have to compute the net asset which is shown below:

Net asset = Total asset - total liabilities

where,

Total asset = Land + building + inventory

                  = $1.7 million + $3.4 million + $2.2 million

                  = $7.3 million

And, the total liabilities = long term note payable = $1.5 million

So, the net asset would equal to

= $7.3 million - $1.5 million

= $5.8 million

Now the goodwill equal to

=  Cash purchase price - net asset

= $6.8 million - $5.8 million

= $1.0 million
