Answer 1

Answer:
Book value of Investee company          = $ 242000+732000-136000           =	$ 8,38,000.00
Share of Investor in Investee Company =      $ 838000 * 40%                     = $ 335200
Value paid for Share in Investee company = $ 4,84,000
Good will = $ 4,84,000 - $ 3,35,200 = $ 1,48,800
The Investor share of Good will be record of Investment. It is a Part of Investment Cost.
