    Blue should record $2,240,000 of goodwill as a result of this purchase.

    Explanation:

    Fair value of Assets = $13,210,000 + $600,000 = $13810,000

    Liabilities = $4,275,000

    Net Asset = Total fair value of asset - Total Liabilities

    Net Assets = $13,810,000 - $4,275,000 = $9,535,000

    Goodwill = Acquisition price - Net Assets

    Goodwill = $11,775,000 - $9,535,000 = $2,240,000

    Blue should record $2,240,000 of goodwill as a result of this purchase.
