Need help with consideration- what does it mean?
I thought it was the cost of investment ( amount the parent company had paid)
When I am calculating the goodwill on practice exams paper I am coming to a complete standstill because I do not know where the figure for consideration has come from.
Please help!

    You will find this on the balance sheet of the parent company under heading - "investment in S company
