Goodwill

First step

Book value purchased = (550,000 - 300,000) ×30%

Book value purchased= 250,000 ×30%

Book value purchased= 75,000

Excess=75,000 × 30%

Excess= 25,000

Second step

Allocated to patent= (40,000 - 10,000)×30%

Allocated to patent= 30,000×30%

Allocated to patent= 9,000

Third step

Goodwill = 25,000 - 9,000

Goodwill=$16,000

Therefore the amount allocated to goodwill at January 1, 2020, is $16,000.
