1. Let us assume that a buyer is planning to buy the business of a competitor. The cumulative net earnings for the past 5
years were P18,000,000. The current value of net assets of the seller was P10,000,000 only. Meaning if the buyer is able
to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities at fair value, the purchase price would only be P10,000,000. But let us say
that buyer will account for the past performance of the seller and determine it as a contributor to additional income in the
future from the purchase of the seller’s business. Goodwill is determined by the following assuming a 20 percent rate of
return and a 25% capitalization rate.
• The purchase price will then be P16,400,000 which is the price at fair
value plus the goodwill added to the fair value.
