Answer 1

1. a. Goodwill = Purchase consideration - value of assets and liabilities taken over

We know that total assets - total liabilities = shareholders fund (capital +reserves)

Thus, goodwill = purchase consideration - shareholders fund +/- revaluation

Purchase consideration = $ 480,000

Shareholders fund = $ (90,000 + 130,000) = $ 220,000

Revaluation = upward revaluation of land at $ 20,000 (100,000-80,000) + upward revaluation of buildings at $ 180,000 (400,000 - 220,000)
= $ 200,000

Thus, goodwill = 480,000 - 220,000 - 200,000
= $ 60,000

b. Consolidation entry:

Land Dr. $100,000
Buildings Dr. $400,000
Goodwill Dr. $60,000
Cash Cr. $480,000
Liabilities Cr. 80,000 (balancing figure)
(being assets and liabilities taken over at fair values)

Note: we don't have any information about current assets and liabilities, so we assume that land and buildings are the only assets and remaining are liabilities.
