What to Focus On

  • Goodwill = Good reputation + Business connections + Extra earning capacity
  • Goodwill helps a firm earn super profits (profits above normal industry profits)
  • It is the present value of expected future benefits arising from reputation

  • Goodwill is an intangible asset — real but invisible
  • It is NOT a fictitious asset because it has real value
  • Goodwill cannot be sold separately from the business

  • Goodwill is intangible — no physical existence, no wear and tear
  • Its value is constantly changing based on profitability
  • Valuation is inherently subjective and varies by method

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Self-generated (inherent) goodwill should be recorded in the books of accounts just like purchased goodwill.

Goodwill is a fictitious asset because it cannot be seen or touched.

Capital Employed equals the total of partners' capital accounts only.

Memory Tips

Meaning of Goodwill
