Financial Statements Help Needed! (Badly!)

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction so I can finally kick start this unit!! Just attempted my first online assignment for Premier Training and have definitely come across a mental block!
On 1 August 2009 the company purchased and absorbed Paxman Ltd as a going concern. Muggeridge Ltd acquired Paxman's sole asset of inventory for £40,000 and in addition paind £100,00 for goodwill. The consideration of £140,000 was paid for by the issue of 100,000 ordinary shares of £1. This transaction has not yet been recorded in the books of Muggeridge Ltd. The purchased good will has an estimated economic life of 10 years from 1 August 2009.
Would this adjustment affect the ledger accounts for Purchases, Goodwill and Ordinary Share Capital only? If so, could anyone point me in the direction of what to do!!
Do I debit Ordinary Share Capital by £100,00? Debit Goodwill by £100,000 or £10,000?
Really just need some pointers please guys, or a kick up the backside!! :-D
Any help is much appreciated!!
Cheers.

Dr Goodwill 100k
Dr Current assets stock 40k
Cr Share capital 100k

Then amortise goodwill at 10% per year. ie cr goodwill 10k and dr P&L 10k0 -
