The purchase price of a business is ₹12,50,000. Its assets are ₹15,00,000 and outside liabilities are ₹4,00,000. What is the purchased goodwill?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹1,50,000

Purchased goodwill is calculated by comparing the purchase consideration with the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. Net assets = Total assets − Outside liabilities. Here, net assets = ₹15,00,000 − ₹4,00,000 = ₹11,00,000. Purchased goodwill = Purchase price − Net assets = ₹12,50,000 − ₹11,00,000 = ₹1,50,000. Therefore option A is correct. Option B is only the net asset value, option C is the entire purchase consideration, and option D results from subtracting the purchase price from the gross assets without properly considering liabilities. The excess paid over net identifiable assets represents the goodwill acquired in the purchase.
