    The amount of goodwill that The Home Centre will record on its balance sheet as a result of this acquisition is $1.48 ($37.5-$ 36.02) million. The amount of goodwill could occur if there is a difference between the investment amount and the net asset of a company. In this problem, we can calculate the company's net asset with this calculation: $2.12+$33.9=$36.02. Fair value amount is used for acquisition accounting using the purchase method.
