    B) Goodwill of 27,000,000.

    Explanation:

    Nebulus's original 30% investment on Suite had a carrying value of $32,000,000 + $120,000,000 more paid in cash for the remaining 70% = $152,000,000

    The fair market value of Suite's total assets = $125,000,000

    So that means that Nebulus must record Suite's assets at fair market value, and the remaining $27,000,000 million must be recorded as goodwill.

    Goodwill = total purchase price of a company - fair market value of all the assets belonging to that company = $152,000,000 - $125,000,000 = $27,000,000
