Answer 1

$0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Advertising expenses = $200,000

Employee training = $25,000

Consumer outreach and consultation = $175,000

Hence, there is no information related to the takeover of the business. This implies that the goodwill recognized by the company is zero
