If the business is purchased at a price including a goodwill of ₦20,000, what must have been the purchas price?

Détails de la réponse
The total assets of the business including goodwill will be equal to the purchase price. Therefore, the purchase price can be calculated by adding the total assets to the goodwill: Purchase price = Total assets + Goodwill Purchase price = ₦210,000 + ₦20,000 Purchase price = ₦230,000 Therefore, the purchase price including goodwill would be ₦230,000.
