Answer: $20,000
Step-by-step explanation:
The following information can be gotten from the question:
Investment in Subsidiary Co. = $95,000
Less: Net asset value = $71,400
Less: Balance sheet adjustment = $3,600
Goodwill = $95,000 - $71,400 - $3,600
= $20,000
Note that:
Net asset value = Asset with book value - Liability with book value
= $86,400 - $15,000
= $71,400
Balance sheet adjusted = Fair value of asset - book value of asset
= $90,000 - $86,400
= $3,600
