Answer:

Goodwill = $100,000

Explanation:

As Winans Corporation acquired Aumont for a cash payment, the following table shows the goodwill acquired by Winans-

Acquisition price (Purchase)                                $700,000

Less: Fair value of net assets

Market price of assets      $ 800,000

Market price of liabilities $(200,000)                  (600,000)

Goodwill                                                                 $100,000

Note: Assets need to be valued as a market price. Therefore, $620,000 amounts of assets will not be shown during the deduction.
