Answer 1

Goodwill allocations

Goodwill attributed to Vacker co. - 70% = $104000

Goodwill attributed to non-controllable interest - 30% = $36000

Step-by-step explanation:

Showing the acquisition date FV allocation , which includes detailed steps such as allocation to BV,FV over BV and Goodwill allocation, between controlling and nocontrolling interests

$28000 was set out as the fair value of the building and will be amortized within ten years remaining

$80000 were to be recognized and amortized over 20 years

Amortized assets are : building and copyright

Goodwill = fair value of the assets acquired - controlling interests

The assets acquired include : copyright, common stocks , retained earnings and buildings

controlling interests = non-controlling interest * 30%

Goodwill allocations

Goodwill attributed to Vacker co. - 70% = $104000

Goodwill attributed to non-controllable interest - 30% = $36000
