Answer:
Goodwill is:
The excess of the fair value of a business over the fair value of all net identifiable assets.
Explanation:
This definition of Goodwill implies that it is usually acquired by the purchaser of another business, when it pays a price higher than the fair market value of the other company's net assets. It is not a physical asset like property, plant, and equipment, but intangible.
Goodwill arises from a company's good reputation, loyal customers or clientele base, brand identity, talented workforce, and proprietary technology.
Goodwill does not have a definite life and under US GAAP and IFRS standards. Therefore, it is not amortized like other intangible assets but is evaluated for impairment every year.
