Answer:

$320,000

Explanation:

Calculation for What amount of gain or goodwill is recognized by ABC

Using this formula

Gain/Goodwill =[Tangible assets -( Cash - Net assets)+Fair value ]

Let plug in the formula

Gain/Goodwill =[$600,000-( $4,200,000- $3,600,000)+$320,000]

Gain/Goodwill=$600,000-$600,000+$320,000

Gain/Goodwill=$320,000

Therefore the amount of gain or goodwill is recognized by ABC will be $320,000
