Answer:

$1,350

Explanation:

Goodwill is the Excess of Cash Consideration over the Net Assets taken over. Net Assets taken over are measured at their Fair Market Value instead of Book Values at the Acquisition date.

Where,

Cash Consideration = $8,000

Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired ($6,000 + ) = $6,650

Therefore,

Goodwill = $8,000 - $6,650

               = $1,350
