On November 30, Parlor, Inc. purchased for cash at $15 per share all 250,000 shares of the outstanding common stock of Shaw Co. At November 30, Shaw's balance sheet showed a carrying amount of net assets of $3,000,000. At that date, the fair value of Shaw's property, plant and equipment exceeded its carrying amount by $400,000. In its November 30 consolidated balance sheet, what amount should Parlor report as goodwill?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Value of goodwill = $350,000

Explanation:

In case where is investment in 100% shares of a company then that may give rise to goodwill or rise to capital reserve.

Any amount paid to acquire that interest in company more than the value of such company is recorded as goodwill.

Here, cost of acquisition = $15 [tex]\times[/tex] 250,000 =  $3,750,000

Carrying value of net assets of the company = $3,000,000

Increase in value due to fair value = $400,000

Value of goodwill = Purchase price - Fair Value of net assets

Therefore, value of goodwill = $3,750,000 - ($3,000,000 + $400,000) = $350,000
