![Page 3: CHAPTER 5](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815ad9550346895dc8a5f8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Purchase Method: Items That Can Comprise The Acquirer’s Cost
• CATEGORY #1: The fair value of the consideration given.
• CATEGORY #2: Certain out-of-pocket direct costs—must be directly traceable to the specific acquisition.
• CATEGORY #3: Contingent consideration —will be paid subsequent to the acquisition date (if paid at all).

Acquirer’s Cost: Category 1—The Consideration Given
• General Rule: – Use the FMV of the consideration given.
• Exception: – Use the FMV of the property received if
it is more readily determinable.
![Page 6: CHAPTER 5](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815ad9550346895dc8a5f8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Acquirer’s Cost: Category 2—Certain Direct Costs
• Must Be Traceable to The Acquisition:– Legal fees—the acquisition agreement.– Purchase investigation fees.– Finder’s fees.– Travel costs.– Professional consulting fees.
• NO allocation allowed of G&A overhead.• NO direct costs of issuing stock (charge to APIC).
![Page 7: CHAPTER 5](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815ad9550346895dc8a5f8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Acquirer’s Cost: Category 3—Contingent Consideration
• Contingencies Based on Other Than Security Prices: – Accrue when it becomes “determinable
beyond a reasonable doubt.”– This point in time is later than the
“probable date.”– The cost of the acquisition is increased
in later periods when the accrual is actually made (usually increases goodwill).
![Page 8: CHAPTER 5](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815ad9550346895dc8a5f8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Acquirer’s Cost: Category 3—Contingent Consideration
• Contingencies Based on Security Prices (to be maintained or attained):– CANNOT result in an increase at a later
date in the initially recorded cost of the acquisition.• Use the security price to be
maintained or attained to record the acquisition.
–This price is the true bargained cost of the acquisition.
![Page 9: CHAPTER 5](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815ad9550346895dc8a5f8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Goodwill Vs. A Bargain Purchase Element: Can Have ONE But Not BOTH
• Cost in excess of Current Value = • Current Value in excess of Cost =• Current Value equals Cost = Neither GW
nor BPE
GWBPE

Goodwill: What to Do With It?• GOODWILL—Usually Exists When Acquiring a
Winner or a Potential Winner:– Must capitalize as an asset.– Cannot amortize to earnings.– Must periodically (at least annually)
assess for impairment.– If impaired, must write it down—charge
to earnings.
![Page 11: CHAPTER 5](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815ad9550346895dc8a5f8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Bargain Purchase Element:What to Do With It?
• BARGAIN PURCHASE ELEMENT—Usually Exists When Acquiring a Troubled Company:
– Extinguish against certain specified assets to extent possible.
– Any unextinguished amount is credited to earnings—reported as an extraordinary item.
![Page 12: CHAPTER 5](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815ad9550346895dc8a5f8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Push-Down Accounting:The EASIER Way
• Push-Down Accounting (an absolute gem):– In the subsidiary’s general ledger:
• Adjust assets and liabilities to FVbased on the parent’s purchase price.
–This establishes a new basis of accounting.
• Record goodwill.Discussed in depth in Chapter 7.
![Page 13: CHAPTER 5](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815ad9550346895dc8a5f8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Nonpush-Down Accounting:The HARDER Way
• Non-Push-Down Accounting:– Don’t touch the subsidiary’s general
ledger (treat like a “sacred cow”).
– Make fair value adjustments and record goodwill in consolidation (on the worksheets).
![Page 14: CHAPTER 5](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815ad9550346895dc8a5f8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Consolidation Consequences:Push-Down Vs. Non-Push-Down
• Push-Down Accounting:– Consolidation effort is minimal (has
received the “Better Book-keeping” stamp of approval).
• Non-Push-Down Accounting:– Consolidation effort is cumbersome
(often a headache).
![Page 15: CHAPTER 5](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815ad9550346895dc8a5f8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Push-Down Vs. Non-Push-Down Accounting: The Bottom Line
• The consolidated financial statement amounts are the SAME whether the parent selects:– Push-down accounting or– Non-push-down accounting.
• ONLY the accounting procedures differ.
![Page 16: CHAPTER 5](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56815ad9550346895dc8a5f8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Intangible Assets: More of Them Are Recognized under FAS 141
• Record at fair value only if either of the following two criteria are met:
#1: Intangible arises from a legal or contractual right.
#2: Intangible does not arise from a legal or contractual right but is
separable.
