Answer:

total amount of goodwill recognized at the date of acquisition is 650000

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

ownership = 80%

common stock = $1,200,000

net assets = $850,000

book value = $600,000

to find out

total amount of goodwill recognized at the date of acquisition

solution

we know here goodwill of controlling interest is

goodwill of controlling interest = common stock - ( net asset × ownership )

put here value

goodwill of controlling interest = 1,200,000 - ( 850,000 × 80% )

goodwill of controlling interest = 520000

and total amount of goodwill recognized at the date of acquisition

will be

total amount =
(goodwill interest)/(ownership)

total amount =
(520000)/(0.80) = 650000

so total amount of goodwill recognized at the date of acquisition is 650000
