Swedish term or phrase: inkråmsgoodwill

An item on a balance sheet. I certainly know what goodwill is but I have no idea how to translate the "inkråm" part.

goodwill arising from the purchase of the net assets of a business enterprise

Explanation:
goodwill arising from the purchase of the net assets of a business enterprise; in other words, the amount paid over the value of the net assets (net assets meaning the amount arrived at by deducting the material liabilities from the tangible assets).

P.S. "inkråm" alone means "assets and liabilities," as in the sale of the "inkråm" would be the sale of the assets and liabilities (eg a takeover of a business). But to say "assets and liabilities goodwill" would not make sense for the term inkråmsgoodwill, as this is actually a shortened form (ie with words left out) to express a concept. The "inkråm" or the "assets and liabilities" also includes the goodwill purchased,, but this term seeks to identify that asset independently from the other (tangible) assets. So it is a particular type of asset.

I suppose you could call it "purchased goodwill" if you are looking for a short term to express this (as long as it was clear from the context that this goodwill was not purchased independently from the other assets).

14 hrs confidence:

goodwill upon acquisition

Explanation:
or simply goodwill. As I understand it, it's not possible to include goodwill on a balance sheet where a merger is involved -- only in acquisitions.
