- Give me true answer this financial accounting questionarrow_forwardI cannot figure out the account of "Goodwill" or "APIC from Pushdown Accounting." I thought APIC should be $285,000, but it didn't work for some reason. And I didn't know we had goodwill, but we do, and I can't figure out how to get the correct answer. I tried $350,000 for APIC, but that also doesn't work, and I am at a loss of what to do next. Please explain as clearly as possible how to do Goodwill and the APIC from Pushdown Accounting. Thanks so much! :)arrow_forwardNonearrow_forward
