    C. $250000

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Total assets = $600,000

    Liabilities = $160,000

    Stockholders' equity = $540,000.

    Fair value of the restaurant assets = $680,000

    Alice Company pays = $770,000

    Goodwill is when a company looking to acquire another company is willing to pay a price significantly higher than the fair market value of the company's net assets.

    Net Assets = Fair value of assets - Total Liabilities

    = $680000 - $160,000

    = $520,000

    Amount of Goodwill = cash paid - net assets

    = $770,000 - $520,000

    = $250000
