The first thing to do is to work out how much A owns in B's share capital. A has purchased 120,000 B shares for (120,000 x 0.50) = 60,000 shares owned by A. This represents a 75% holding in B (i.e. 60,000 shares purchased / 80,000 shares).
Therefore:
Cost of investment.........................................220,000
Net assets acquired:
75% of 80,000 share capital.............................(60,000)
75% of 60,000 reserves...................................(45,000)
Goodwill........................................................115,000
