48,000 gain on adams investment

(6,000) amortization expense

42,000 net

Explanation:

900,000 x 40% = 360,000

plant 90,000 x 40% = 36,000

inventory 10,000 x 40% = 4,000

Total goodwill 40,000

amortization of goodwill:

36,000/18 = 2,000

inventory 4,000

total 6,000

net income 120,000 x 40% = 48,000

cash dividends 20,000 x 40% = 8,000

balance sheet:

360,000 + 48,000 - 8,000 = 400,000 Adams Investment

40,000 - 6,000 = 34,000 Goodwill
