Calculate the Goodwill/Capital Reserve to be recorded by Blue Print Ltd.
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
Net assets = Assets - Liabilities = (1,50,000 + 1,40,000 + 10,000) - 20,000 = 2,80,000. Purchase consideration = 3,15,000. Since PC exceeds net assets, Goodwill = 3,15,000 - 2,80,000 = 35,000. Hence Goodwill of Rs. 35,000.
