₦ Plant and Machinery 190 000 Motor Vehicle 170 000 Stock 60 000 Current Liabilities 50 000 Purchase consideration 400 000 Determine the amount of goodwill.

To determine the amount of goodwill, we need to first understand what goodwill is. Goodwill is an intangible asset that represents the value of a company's reputation, brand name, customer base, and other intangible factors that contribute to its overall value. In this case, we have been given a balance sheet that includes the purchase consideration, which is the amount paid for the acquisition of another company. The purchase consideration includes the fair market value of the assets and liabilities of the company being acquired. To calculate the goodwill, we need to subtract the fair market value of the net assets acquired from the purchase consideration. The net assets acquired are the total assets acquired minus the total liabilities acquired. The fair market value of the net assets acquired is calculated as follows: Plant and Machinery: ₦190,000 Motor Vehicle: ₦170,000 Stock: ₦60,000 Total Assets: ₦420,000 Current Liabilities: ₦50,000 Net Assets: ₦370,000 Therefore, the fair market value of the net assets acquired is ₦370,000. To calculate the goodwill, we subtract the fair market value of the net assets acquired from the purchase consideration: Goodwill = Purchase Consideration - Fair Market Value of Net Assets Acquired Goodwill = ₦400,000 - ₦370,000 Goodwill = ₦30,000 Therefore, the amount of goodwill in this case is ₦30,000.
