4. GOODWILL - Originally goodwill was interpreted solely in terms of the attitudes of customers or clients, as in its definition as the probability that old customers will continue to resort to the old place of business or continue to deal with the firm of the same name. In later years, however, there has been a tendency to regard goodwill more broadly as "the value of all the favourable attitudes impinging upon the concern, including, with customers, the employees and other groups associated with the enterprise". It is only when these factors are persistent and unusual that they come to have an economic significance. Further, goodwill as a recognisable asset arises only when there is a possibility of a transfer. It is often calculated as an assessment of the present value of the estimated future profits of a business in excess of a normal return on its assets.
