How could the admission of California as a slave state or free state upset the balance between north and south?

At the time of California's admittance into the Union in 1850, there were 15 free and 15 slave states, a highly desirable equilibrium to federal government. The admission would tip the balance either way in Congress, as one side would have more votes, and problems were worsened by the fact that California's land lies on both sides of the 36°30' parallel established by the Compromise of 1820 for slave and free state rights.

How did California's request for statehood cause a crisis?
Because it would upset the balance between free-states and slave-states, and went through the 36° 30' line, from the Missouri Compromise of 1820, thus it could not be solved easily.
What compromise established a boundary for further states to be a free or slave state?
The Missouri Compromise of 1820. It managed to balance the situation and keep the peace for thirty years. It might have done so indefinitely, if California could have been brought into the union as two states - North California and South California - divided along that boundary.
What problem was created when California sought admission to the union?
California's constitution outlawed slavery. Southern slave states didn't want California or any other state to be admitted to the Union as a free state because it would upset the balance of free states to slave states. The matter was settled by the Compromise of 1850.

It got California admitted as free soil, on condition that two other states could be admitted as slave-states.

What is the difference between goodwill and brand name?
Goodwill is the difference between the price paid for a business and the net book value of assets in the balance sheet of that business. The price paid for a business is usually more closely related to its profit stream rather balance sheet value. A strong brand can influence profit but would not appear as an asset on the balance sheet. The level of profit could also be influenced by staff competences and staff competences are not shown as an asset on the balance sheet. That difference between price paid and balance sheet value of assets might be due to the strength of the brand name, but it could also be due to other things.
