Joe's Garage Gas N’ Go Estimated normal rate of return on net assets 20% 20% Fair value of net identifiable assets $950,000 $980,000 Actual average net income for past five years 220,000 275,000 Instructions a. Compute an estimated fair value for any goodwill associated with Kivi purchasing Joe's Garage. Base your computation upon an assumption that successful service stations typically sell at about 9.25 times their annual earnings. b.
