    The goodwill that resulted from the transaction is $1.3 million, the excess paid by Backstreets Co. over the net assets of Jungleland Inc. acquired

    Explanation:

    Goodwill is the excess of purchase consideration over net assets acquired in a business combination.

    The total net assets acquired can be deduced as total assets less total liabilities:

    Land $2m

    Buildings $3.7m

    Inventory $2.5m

    total assets 8.2m

    Liabilities ($1.8m)

    Net Assets $6.4 m

    Purchase price $7.7 m

    Goodwill is $1.3m ($7.7m - $6.4m)

    The goodwill is the advantage that the owners business have over the new owners being the pioneers that set the business on the right path
