Calculation Of Identifiable Net Assets $

Share Capital On acquisition date - 120000

Calculation Of Goodwill

Investment in S Corp 190000

+ Non Controlling Interest (FV) 47500

- Identifiable Net Assets   232000

Goodwill   5500

therefore Following entry can be passed on consolidation

To Investments In S Corp 190000

(Being Assets and liabilities of S corp Consolidated)
