Question

Goodwill - What is goodwill on a financial statement?

Answer

When one party buys out another, an intangible asset called goodwill is created in the books. Assets that are not easily separable are represented by goodwill. Since it is neither physical nor observable, the balance sheet labels it as an intangible asset.
