    D Goodwill ₹7,15,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Capital Reserve ₹1,00,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    1. Purchase Consideration (PC): o Shares issued: B has 1,00,000 shares. For every 2 → 3 of A. So shares issued = 1,50,000. o Value = 1,50,000 × 12 = ₹18,00,000 o Cash = ₹2,00,000 o Total PC = ₹20,00,000 2. Net Assets of B: o Sundry Assets = ₹16,00,000 o Less Debentures (discharged at 5% premium = 3,00,000 × 1.05 = 3,15,000) o Net Assets = 16,00,000 – 3,15,000 = ₹12,85,000 3. Goodwill/Capital Reserve: o PC – Net Assets = 20,00,000 – 12,85,000 = ₹7,15,000 (Goodwill)
