Goodwill is the premium that is paid in the acquisition of a business.
Goodwill = Consideration paid + Fair value of non controlling interests - Fair value of net identifiable assets
Fair value of net identifiable assets = Book value of acquired company - Overvalued plant assets + Unreported identifiable intangible assets = $25,000 - $6,000 + $10,000 = $29,000
Goodwill = $40,000 + $22,000 - $29,000 = $33,000
The total amount of goodwill recognized for this acquisition, following U.S. GAAP is $33,000.
