Answer 1

Lake would record goodwill of $365,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Fair value of net assets = Fair value of current asset + Fair value of property, plant and equipment

Fair value of net assets = $125,000 + $765,000

Fair value of net assets = $890,000

Fair market value = Fair value of net assets - Liabilities assumed

Fair market value = $890,000 - 255,000

Fair market value = $635,000

Goodwill = Consideration - Fair market value

= $1,000,000 - $635,000

= $365,000

Hence, the amount of goodwill is $365,000.
