ROBERTS ASSETS NET MARKET VALUE:
AMOUNT
Assets:
Cash 50000
Inv. 170000
Equip 715000
Less:Liabilities -280000
Net Assets Market Value 655000
Req 1) Purchse price above which Williams would record goodwill = B/V of assets - Liabilities = 880000-280000= 600000
Req 2) Purchse price which Williams would record a 60000 gain = (B/V of assets - Liabilities)-60000 = 880000-280000-60000= 540000
Req 3) Purchse price below which Williams would obtain a bargain = Net Assets Market Value = 655000
Req 4) Purchse price which Williams would record 85000 of goodwill = (B/V of assets - Liabilities) + 85000= 880000-280000 + 85000= 685000
