The notes to a recent annual report from Weebok Corporation indicated that the company acquired another company, Sport Shoes, Inc.

Assume that Weebok acquired Sport Shoes on January 5 of the current year. Weebok acquired the name of the company and all of its assets for $502,000 cash. Weebok did not assume the liabilities.

The transaction was closed on January 5 of the current year, at which time the balance sheet of Sport Shoes reflected the following book values and an independent appraiser estimated the following market values for the assets:

Sport Shoes, Inc.
January 5 of the Current Year Book Value Market Value
Accounts receivable (net) $35,000 $35,000
Inventory 210,000 183,000
Fixed assets (net) 23,000 46,500
Other assets 10,000 16,000
Total Assets $278,000
Liabilities $72,000
Stockholders' equity 206,000
Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $278,000

Required:
Compute the amount of goodwill resulting from the purchase.

$221,500

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of the goodwill is shown below:

Goodwill = Acquiring value - fair market value of all assets

where,

Acquiring value = $502,000

And, the fair market value of all assets is

= Account receivable market value + inventory market value + fixed assets market value + other assets market value

= $35,000 + $183,000 + $46,500 + $16,000

= $280,500

So, the goodwill is

= $502,000 - $280,500

= $221,500

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'
