    Hi,

    The specific format of calculating goodwill is in the lecture notes. I’d never use a T-account to calculate goodwill as you’ve been instructed as it is far too confusing.

    With regards to your issues with the methods of calculating goodwill, have you watched the videos and studied the notes? I think it is covered in there. If you’re still stuck once you’ve done that then please feel free to address any confusion with me.

    Thanks
