Goodwill and purchase price allocation: goodwill as the residual, a full PPA waterfall across identified intangibles, and useful-life estimation. Method selects the formula. Use for ASC 805 / IFRS 3 business combinations; purchase_price_allocation allocates consideration to identified intangibles with the remainder to goodwill. For subsequent goodwill and intangible impairment testing use valuation_impairment; for individual intangible fair values feed valuation_ip, valuation_technology or valuation_customer into the allocation. Per method: goodwill needs purchase_price + fair_value_net_identifiable_assets; purchase_price_allocation needs purchase_price + tangible_assets_fv + identified_intangibles (optional: liabilities_fv); useful_life needs asset_type (optional: legal_life, economic_factors, obsolescence_rate). identified_intangibles values are summed before goodwill is taken as the residual; liabilities_fv reduces net identifiable assets. Only method is required; all other parameters are method-dependent — supply those the selected method names and omit the rest (defaults apply where defined). Rates and premiums are decimals (0.10 = 10%). Pure arithmetic: no I/O and no external calls, rounded to 2 decimals; parameters belonging to other methods are accepted and ignored. An unknown method, or a missing method-required parameter, returns an error instead of a value.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| method | string | yes | Formula to apply. Options: goodwill = Goodwill = purchase price - fair value of net identifiable assets.; purchase_price_allocation = Allocate consideration across identified intangibles.; useful_life = Estimate economic/legal useful life of an intangible. |
| purchase_price | number | no | Total consideration / purchase price, in currency units. |
| fair_value_net_identifiable_assets | number | no | Fair value of net identifiable assets, in currency units. |
| tangible_assets_fv | number | no | Fair value of tangible assets, in currency units. |
| identified_intangibles | array | no | Identified intangibles, each {name, value} or {name, fair_value}. |
| liabilities_fv | number | no | Fair value of assumed liabilities, in currency units. |
| asset_type | string | no | Asset type, e.g. "patent", "trademark", "software", "customer_list". |
| legal_life | number | no | Legal protection period in years (overrides the asset-type default). |
| economic_factors | object | no | Economic adjustment factors, e.g. {"market_growth": 0.05, "competition": 0.4, "tech_change": 0.1}. |
| obsolescence_rate | number | no | Annual obsolescence rate as a decimal in [0,1]. |
