II Very short answer questions

12th Standard Chapter 4 Question No.1

What is goodwill?

Answer: 

Goodwill is the good name or reputation of the business which brings benefit to the business. It enables the business to earn more profit. It is the present value of a firm’s future excess earnings. It is an intangible asset as it has no physical existence.

12th Standard Chapter 4 Question No.2


What is acquired goodwill?

Answer: 

Goodwill acquired by making payment in cash or kind is called acquired or purchased goodwill.

The excess of purchase consideration over the value of net assets acquired is treated as acquired goodwill.
