Correct Answer: Goodwill account 


Solution : Answer = Goodwill account

When the purchase consideration exceeds the net assets acquired, the excess amount is typically debited to the Goodwill account. This represents the premium paid for intangible assets such as brand value, customer relationships, or favourable market positioning. It reflects the value of the business beyond its tangible assets.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
