Solutions

Expert Solution

1. GoodWill Computation = Amount Paid by Bluth Inc for Horten - (Total Assets - Liabilities)

= $ 280000 - ( 290000 - 200000)

= 280000- 90000 = 190000

Hence, Goodwill of $ 190000 would reflect on the Asset Side of the Bluth's Financial Statements.

2. Consolidated Net Income of Bluth = Net Income of Bluth + Net Loss of Horton

= 140000 - 9000

= $ 131000

3. Consolidated Net Income of Bluth = (Net Income of Bluth - Goodwill Impairment ) + Net Loss of Horton

= (140000 - 15000) - 9000

= 125000 - 9000

= $ 116000

4. Goodwill of Consolidated Balance Sheet = 190000 - 15000

=$ 175000
