Answer and Explanation:
1. The amount of goodwill is shown below:
= Purchase price - the market value of net assets
= $6,000,000 - ($17,000,000 + $13,000,000)
= $2,000,000
2. Now the journal entry for purchase is
Assets $17,000,000
Goodwill $2,000,000
To Liabilities $13,000,000
To Cash $6,000,000
(Being the purchase is recorded)
For recording this we debited the assets and goodwill as it increased the assets and credited the liabilities and cash as it also increased the liabilities and decreased the assets

a. Asarta Inc. could pay the fishermen $8,500 and keep polluting
Explanation:
The fishermen sell the fish for $8,000 a year at local market.
Due to pollution emitted by company into stream, their catch is dwindling and also their income.
The company benefits from usage of stream to the tune of $4,000 a year. In such scenario, if company compensates the fishermen for any amount between $8,000 and $40,000 then, in that case, optimal solution to the problem can be achieved in absence of any other transaction cost as per the Coase Theorem.
Therefore, The Asarta Inc. could pay the fishermen $8,500 and keep polluting.

Answer:
b. They are treated differently because the loss in value of Carol's stock is the result of a sale, while the loss in value of Dave's stock is simply a decline in value.
