 Naughty Company assembles the following data relative to a certain entity in determining the amount to be paid for net assets and goodwill:

Assets at fair value before goodwill                    2, 600, 000
Liabilities                                        900, 000
Shareholders’ equity                            1, 700, 000

Net earnings after elimination of unusual or infrequent items:
2008                        200, 000
2009                        230, 000
2010                        300, 000
2011                        250, 000
2012                        270, 000

Required:
Calculate the amount of goodwill under the following:
1. Average earnings are capitalized at 10%
2. A return of 8% is considered normal on net assets at fair value. Excess earnings are capitalized at 15%.
3. A return of 10% is considered normal on net assets at fair value. Goodwill is measured at 5 years excess earnings.
4. A return of 10% is considered normal on net assets at fair value. Excess earnings are expected to continue for 10 years.
Goodwill is measured by the present value method using a 12% rate. The present value of an ordinary annuity of 1 at 12% for 10 years is 5.65.
