Chapter 11, Problem 1TP

You are an accounting student at your local university. Your brother has recently managed to save $5,000, and he would like to invest some of this money in the stock market, so he’s researching various global corporations that are listed on the stock exchange. He is reviewing a company that has “Goodwill” as an item on the balance sheet. He is quite perplexed about what this means, so he asks you for help, knowing that you are taking accounting classes. How would you explain the concept of goodwill to him by comparing it to other types of resources the company has available?
