Accounting for goodwill
2
Goodwill
Goodwill = Selling price as a going concern – Fair value of separate net assets
Goodwill = Selling price – (Assets – Liabilities)
3
Goodwill Buyer may be willing to pay more for a business as a going
concern because of:
- Good location- Good customer relations- Good reputation- Well-known products- Experienced and efficient employees and management team- Good relation with suppliers
4
Types of Goodwill Inherent Goodwill Purchased Goodwill
5
Inherent Goodwill• Goodwill generated internally because of the above
advantages• Inherent goodwill is only an estimation. Therefore, it should
not be brought into the books, and no accounting entry is required
6
Purchased Goodwill•It is the goodwill generated during the acquisition of a business•It is the difference between the selling price of a business as a going concern and the total value of its separable net assets•It can be treated as an intangible fixed asset.•Some companies may write it off immediately against reserves, or amortized through the profit and loss account over its useful economic life
7
Calculation of Goodwill Subjective Judgement Average Sales/Fees/Profits Method Super Profit Method
8
Subject Judgement Estimate the value of goodwill with reference
to some intangible factors and according to their professional judgement
9
Average Sales/Fees/Profit Method It can be calculated on gross average or
weight average
Goodwill = Average annual sales/fees/profits over a stated number of years * a factorThe factor is usually stated as a certain number of years’ purchase of the average sales/fees/profits
10
Example 1
11
Year Annual Sales$
1995 100000 1996 200000 1997 300000
(a) Goodwill is valued at 3 years’ purchase of the average annual sales of the past3 years:
Average annual sales = ($100000+200000+300000 ) /3 = $200000
Goodwill = $200000 X3 = $600000
12
(b) Goodwill is valued at the 3 years’ purchase of the weighted average of the annual sales of the past 3 years
Weighted average annual sales = (100000 x 1 + 200000 x 2 + 300000 x 3)
1+2+3 = 1400000 6 = 233333 (Calculation to the nearest dollar)
13
Super Profit Method A business with goodwill is expected to be
able to earn more profit than a business without goodwill
The extra profit earned is called the super profit
Statement Calculating Super Profit
Average annual net profit X
Less: Reasonable remuneration to the owner X
Reasonable return on the capital employed in the
tangible assets X X
Super profit X
14
Example 2
15
Chan is leaving the partnership, and goodwill is to be revalued at 3 years’ purchase of the super profit. The expected rate of return on net tangible assets is 10 %, after paying a management fee of $500. The calculation of the super profit is to be based on the average profits of the last four years.
Net profit from 1994-1997 is $5000, $6500, $6500, $7000
Expected return on net tangible assets = Net tangible assets * 10%. Expected return is $5000.

AnswerStatement Calculating Super Profit
$ $Average net profit(5000+6500+6500+7000)/4 6250Less: Management fee 500

Goodwill= $750 X 3 = $2250

Accounting for Goodwill in Partnership
18
Accounting for goodwill in partnership Only purchased goodwill is to be brought into the
accounts. In sole trader’s accounts, goodwill is to be recognized and recorded in the books only if the business is acquired as a going concern
In partnerships, however, goodwill is brought into the books whenever there is a change in the partnership such as: Admission of a new partner Retirement of an old partner Change of the profit-sharing ratio
19
Each partner has a share of the profit-sharing ratio. At a change in the partnership, goodwill must be taken into account and shared among the existing partners, according to the existing profit-sharing ratio
20
Goodwill on the admission of a new partner
21
Goodwill on the admission of a new partner The new partner is required to pay for his share of
the tangible assets as well as the goodwill, according to the profit-sharing ratio
On the admission of a new partner, goodwill must be revalued
However, not all business keep a goodwill account in their books. Goodwill adjustments can be done: Goodwill account opened Goodwill account not opened
22
Goodwill account opened The value of the goodwill will be credited to the old
partners’ capital accounts, which represents an increase in the resources they own, while the new partner will not have a share of the goodwill

With the increase in the value of goodwill, share in the old ratio

With the decrease in the value of goodwill, share in the old artio
23
Goodwill account not opened Goodwill is intangible in nature. It cannot be disposed of
separately. Therefore, some businesses prefer not to maintain a goodwill account
The new partner may be required to pay extra cash, or have his capital balance reduced, for his share of goodwill
Dr Goodwill account
Cr Capital account (old partners only)
Share goodwill among old partners in old profit-sharing ratio
Dr Capital account ( all partners)
Cr Goodwill account
Written off goodwill among all partners in the new profit-sharing ratio

Goodwill on a change in the profit-sharing ratio
38
Goodwill on a change in the profit-sharing ratio When there is a change in the profit-sharing
ratio, the value of goodwill should also be re-assessed, so as to ascertain the amount of resources a partner has to give up ( in terms of a reduction in the relative capital balance) for the gain in his share of profits/loss.

Joe brought $40,000 cash into the business for capital. No extra cash is paid for goodwill. The new profit-sharing ratio is 3:2:1.
