Answer 1

Answer:

$242,300

Explanation:

Goodwill = Purchase Price - Net Assets taken over at Fair Value

where,

Purchase Price = $961,000

Net Assets taken over at Fair Value = $ 124,700 + $769,000 - $175,000 = $718,700

therefore,

Goodwill = $961,000 - $718,700 = $242,300

conclusion :

Lake would record goodwill of $242,300
