    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?
