Respuesta :

Answer:

$424,000

Explanation:

Data provided as per the given question as below

Liabilities = $184,000

Fair value of the restaurant assets = $665,000

Cash = $905,000

The computation of amount of goodwill is shown below:-

Amount of goodwill = Cash - (Fair value of the restaurant assets - Liabilities)

= $905,000 - ($665,000 - $184,000)

= $424,000
