Goodwill = $700,000

Explanation:

The goodwill amounts to the excess of the "purchase consideration" (the money paid to purchase the asset or business) over the net value of the assets minus liabilities.

Purchase consideration = $50 X 150,000 = $7,500,000

Fair value of net assets = $6,000,000 (book value) + $800,000 (fair value adjustment) = $6,800,000

Goodwill = $7,500,000 - $6,800,000 = $700,00
