Answer:

$215,000

Explanation:

Goodwill is the excess of purchase consideration over the net asset of a company. It is an intangible asset

Good will = Purchase consideration - net asset

Net assets is the difference between the company's assets and its liabilities.

Net asset = $135,000 + $275,000 + $500,000 - $655,000

= $255,000

Goodwill = $470,000 - $255,000

= $215,000

Goodwill for this transaction is $215,000.
