What is goodwill? [Video]

What is goodwill?

Have you ever seen goodwill on a balance sheet and wondered what it is?

Goodwill is an intangible asset that’s recorded when one company acquires another company for a price that is greater than the fair value of the target company’s net assets.

Purchase price – fair value of net identifiable assets = goodwill

So let’s say Microsoft decides to buy Pinterest.

Let’s also assume the fair value of Pinterest’s assets is $30 billion and the fair value of its liabilities is $5 billion, which means the fair value of its net identifiable assets is $25 billion.

If Microsoft pays $32 billion to acquire 100% of Pinterest, then Microsoft would record $7 billion of goodwill, calculated as follows:

Purchase price of $32 billion – $25 billion FV of net identifiable assets = $7 billion of goodwill

Thus, goodwill isn’t tangible property and it’s not something you can sell or trade. It’s simply the premium the company paid for another company’s net assets.

IFRS 16 Summary [Video]

Here's a summary of IFRS 16 for both lessees and lessors. Lessees must capitalize all leases except for short-term leases (12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets (asset has a fair value of $5,000 or less at the beginning of the lease). Capitalization means the lessee must record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on its statement of financial position at the commencement of the lease. The lessee then records depreciation expense (for the right-of-use asset) and interest expense (for the lease liability) throughout the lease term. Lessors must first classify their lease as a finance lease or an operating lease, as this has a significant effect on the lessor's accounting. If the lease is a finance lease, the lessor must derecognize the asset from its statement of financial position and record a lease receivable upon commencement of the lease. (If the lessor is a manufacturer or a dealer, the lessor must also record sales revenue and cost of goods sold upon commencement of the lease.) The lessor then records interest revenue (for the lease receivable) throughout the lease term.If the lessor has classified the lease as an operating lease, then the lessor should not remove the asset from its statement of financial position or record a lease receivable upon commencement of the lease. (Also, the lessor should not recognize sales revenue or cost of goods sold, even if it is a manufacturer or a dealer.) When it comes to the income statement, the lessor records depreciation expense (because the asset is still on the lessor's books) and records lease revenue on a straight-line basis throughout the lease term.— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
