    Bad acquired 75% of Ugly’s 100,000 shares in issue for a cash consideration of $ 1 million. On the acquisition date, the fair value of Ugly’s assets and liabilities amounted to $1 million and Ugly’s share current market price amounted to $15. What was the amount of the goodwill on acquisition under the fair value method?

    ans = 375

    Just to break it down;

    cost of investment = £1,000,000 (for 75000 shares)
    add the NCI interest (25000 shares not bought * current share market price of £15) = £375,000
    Less FV of assets @ acquisition = £1,000,000

    Goodwil = £375,000
