1.
Calculate the amount of goodwill of Company H.
Explanation of Solution
Goodwill: Goodwill is the good reputation developed by a company over years. This is recorded as an intangible asset, and is quantified when other company acquires. Goodwill should be recorded only when one company is acquired by another company. Goodwill value would be impaired, if the book value of goodwill is less than fair market value.

2.
State the reason for the difference in the book value of Company H’s identifiable net assets from the market value.
Explanation of Solution
Identifiable intangibles: The identifiable intangibles are the intangible assets that can be easily separated from the company, and it would be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged. Examples: trademarks, patents, copyrights, franchises, customer lists and relationships, non-compete agreements, and licenses.
The book value of H Company’s identifiable net assets differs from its market value for the following reason:
- Some of the assets of Company H are listed on the balance sheet at amounts other than their market value. For instance: The marketable securities are listed at cost and not at a fair value, likewise the inventory is valued using LIFO, instead of FIFO. The land is reported at cost but not at its market value, if it would have reported at its market value, then the cost would be much higher. Equipment is reported at depreciated cost while its market value is much higher.
- Company H has a valuable internally developed trademark that is not recorded.
- An unidentifiable intangible asset (goodwill) exists. However, it is not reported on H Company’s books.
