    Dear Sir,
    Under the proportionate share of net assets goodwill method, NCI is being valued at its proportionate % of net assets. So then, why is the resulting goodwill only the parent’s goodwill?
    If you could kindly explain, that would help me out a lot

    Is it because the NCI % share of goodwill is being cancelled out by adding the share of net assets?

    Thank you sir

    A buys 80% of B for 100. B’s NA are 120.

    Goodwill (official calculation)

    COST 100
    NCI (20% x 120) 24
    Less NA (120)
    GOODWILL 4

    Now an unofficial calculation:
    COST 100
    Less %NA ((80% x 120) (96)
    GOODWILL 4

    Can you see that in prop. goodwill I am effectively comparing the cost to the parent with the share of net assets acquired by parent? So it is goodwill ONLY on parent’s investment in sub.
