The goodwill is shown on the balance sheet after an acquisition of another company is made, not internally generated. The difference between the purchased price and the actual value of the net assets bought is called premium price. The acquirer company normally buy these assets at a premium price because they feel it saves them time and money instead of these assets are being developed internally. The purpose of the acquisition in this case could be a manufacturer wanted to establish his own sales and marketing distribution systems for his products. So the premium price he paid in this case is qualified to be treated as good will and put on  the balance sheet to be amortized yearly over nextyears. 

2. Not qualified.

3. Is qualified
