    Goodwill is $262,800

    Explanation:

    Goodwill is the excess of purchase consideration over fair value of net assets

    Fair value of net assets is the fair value of total assets minus fair value of total liabilities

    Fair value of total assets=$124,200+$757,000=$881,200

    fair value of total liabilities=$177,000

    fair value of net assets=$881,200 - $177,000=$704,200

    Goodwill=purchase consideration-net assets

    purchase consideration is $967,000

    fair value of net assets $704,200

    goodwill=$967,000-$704,200

    goodwill=$262,800

    The correct option is the third option in the multiple choices
