Answer:

In order to compute the  cost of the goodwill, first, we have to compute the fair value of the net asset which is shown below:

The fair value of net asset = The market value of Lyn Star Overnight assets - the market value of Lyn Star Overnight liabilities

= $72 million - $23 million

So, the goodwill would be  

= $66 million - $49 million

= $17 million
