I am also at a loss to understand the logic behind the answer. As I see it:
Purchase consideration 60000 shares @ $3.50 —- 195000
Fair value of net assets acquired ————————— 50000
Goodwill on acquisition —————————————-145000You have made an arithmetic mistake – 60,000 x $3.50 = 210,000!!
(Then you end up with the correct answer).There is no ‘best’ Study Text – everybody has their own tastes. However, all you need for consolidations for the exam is in our Course Notes and lectures. Better than buying a Study Text is to buy a Revision/Exam Kit and keep practising and practicing questions.

Sorry for the error. May I suggest esti you should consult Frank Wood’s Business Accounting 2 which covers group accounts in sufficient detail which helps a non commerce student to grasp the subject.
