Issue and Redemption of Debentures

Question:

Blue Prints Ltd., purchased a building worth ₹1,50,000, machinery worth ₹1,40,000, and furniture worth ₹10,000 from XYZ Co. for a purchase consideration of ₹3,15,000. What will be the amount of goodwill?

Options:

₹30000

₹15000

₹20000

₹35000

Correct Answer:

₹15000

Explanation:

Since the purchase consideration is more than the net assets taken over, the difference has been debited to the goodwill account.
Purchase consideration = ₹315000
Net assets = Building + Machinery + Furniture
                   =150000 + 140000 +10000
                   = ₹300000
Goodwill = Purchase consideration  - net assets
             = 315000 -300000
             = ₹15000
