Tutor,
How should bargained goodwill be treated when consolidating?

October 22, 2015 at 12:50 pm #278395Thanks, I tried on ask the tutor maybe I didn’t do it right. What’s the procedure when asking a tutor?
October 22, 2015 at 2:49 pm #278416You are welcome.Not sure why ask the tutor didn’t work.Think the process of posting should be the same as with this forum.On rare occasions I have had replies to questions I have answered disappear into ether on this site but this hasn’t happened so of for some time.
