Saved me so much time. What took me 3 hours to complete my homework only took me 1 hour because you provide good examples that I can re-apply. I wish you were my professor for all my classes

[@aaronwesley930]

Edspira is the reason why I am still able to follow my passion in accounting. Thank you!

[@laketasherrill1424]

I had the hardest time with trying to come up with goodwill and you made it easier than how my teacher explained it to me! Thank you.

[@JuanOjedaJr]

The best breakdown of goodwill, TY! Helped me out especially for clarity in my advanced accounting class, the books do no justice!

[@Abulbeesh82]

Thank you very much very much for your simple and clear explanation. I never figured out what "goodwill" means before this video.❤

[@jeffislearning]

Thank god for this video. Learning accounting this was the most confusing and unclear topic that my professor seem to gloss over.

[@robertbriggs5033]

Great video, things are learnt best in short chunks like this!

[@MissCraig]

Do you have a video on amortization? or is Goodwill about the same as amortization?

[@abdullahalameer8972]

Thank you for the simplification :)

That's what I call understanding lesson and not only memorizing

[@johnw4590]

You are the best

[@adarshs2937]

Good video🎉

[@ricklavie7315]

[@nightthemare4742]

Thanks!

[@sollicortado4774]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@suruthipriya_cma]

Hi Sir, As per double entry system every aspect should have two fold effect. If goodwill in asset side - what would a second effect ?. Please advise . Since Goodwill is non cash transaction - wouldn't it lead to overvalue in asset side Thanks, Suruthi

[@row0111]

AAS 18 AASB: Purchased goodwill must be amortised so that it is recognised as an expense in the profit and loss or other operating statement on a straight-line basis, over the period from the date of acquisition to the end of the period of time during which the benefits are expected to arise. This period must not exceed twenty years from the date of acquisition.

[@kanelawson1085]

Yes, basically what I came here to say. Goodwill is not "never amortized" as stated in this video. It is absolutely amortized for the reasons you laid out above.

[@JarlTryggve]

This video is 10 years old, and the changes to goodwill amortization were well after it was made. Nice "I gotcha" moment. He knows what tf he's talking about.

[@macdonaldnenguem7286]

Thanks a bunch

[@ahmedgamal3945]

Thank you :)

[@ProttutponnomotiOfficial]

[@RahulGupta-uj9ct]

[@陈梦捷]

THX.

[@vishnu8899]

Dear Sir,how did you arrive at the purchase price??

[@MyFinancialFocus]

Goodwill is one my favorite assets on the balance sheet. It’s the only one thats worth what someone claims it’s worth lol

[@pavloshpak]

[@tiffanycheung5563]

THANK YOUUUUU

[@MrLeifyGreenz]

One word, "synergy"

[@sanfran224]

appreciated

[@reneefongg]

awesome than my dead ass lecture

[@professordrabhijitsayamber2299]

Om shanti de I

[@reneefongg]

my lecturer is always useless

[@bigfriki]

I guess a good example would be Facebook aquiring WhatsApp for $22billion (which obviously was more than its value of net identifiable assets)?

[@sea7940]

thank you!
