    The amount allocated to goodwill at January 1, 2017, is: $16,000

    Explanation:

    We talk of goodwill when a company acquires another one and is the difference between the cost to purchase the business minus the fair market value of the tangible assets netted the liabilities.

    In this case the fair value of the assets is:

    Assets $550,000 + $40,000 - $10,000 = $580,000

    The book value of the assets is corrected with the fair value, in this case we correct the value of the patent.

    Liabilities $300,000

    porcentage acquired 30%

    price paid $100,000

    $100,000 - ((580,000-300,000) * 30%) = $16,000
