Which of the following factors does not affect the value of goodwill?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Goodwill depends on firm specific advantages such as a favourable location, efficient management and special rights like patents and trademarks, all of which raise earning capacity. Fiscal policy is a general economic condition affecting all businesses alike and is not treated as a determinant of a particular firm's goodwill.
