    d. $250,000.

    Explanation:

    In order to calculate the expense of the goodwill, we must first calculate the net asset's fair value shown below:

    The fair value of net asset = The fair market value of total assets - the fair market value of liabilities

    = $125,000 + $750,000 - $175,000

    = $700,000

    And, the purchase value of all outstanding stocks is $950,000

    So, the goodwill would be

    = $950,000 - $700,000

    = $250,000
