Hi!!!

I want to know why the goodwill is considered when we value the business on the basis of historical values. while it is not considered when we value the basis otherwise as economic value, value on the basis of current cost or on the basis of earning capacity.

Please Help!!!

My query is u must have read the chapter "VALUATION OF BUSINESS". In that if you need to value the business there are so many altenatives by which you can find out the value of your business.

Historical cost basis

Economic value

Current cost basis

Earning basis.

So my question is goodwill is considered i.e. goodwill is added in historical cost of all the net assets if you need to value on historical cost basis. while it is not done in other methods why??

while recognizing expenses for the share based payments, when there is a change in Fair value then why the decrease is ignored and in the case of increase too only the incremental part is considered and not the revised fair value . I mean what's the logic behind that.

for eq. if the fair value considered earlier was 15 for recognition of expenses , and after that there is a reduction in exercise price ie. originally FV before reduction is 14 and after reduction it is 17 then we have to consider 15+3 ie. 18 as a FV to recognize. not the 17 why???
