Example 7 (GoodWill)

NNimo9y ago
In example 7, how did we get the good will of disposing subsidiary?
MMikeLittleTutor9y ago#1
Cost $350,000 75% x (300,000 $1 shares + $150,000 retained earnings) = $337,500 Goodwill $12,500 The fuller version: Cost $350,000 NCI $112,500 (proportional share of net assets at date of acquisition) Total worth of the entity $462,500 Fair valued net assets at date of acquisition: Shares $300,000 Retained earnings $150,000 Therefore Goodwill is $12,500 OK?
