BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Answers to Questions

1 A business combination is a union of business entities in which two or more previously separate and
independent companies are brought under the control of a single management team. Three situations
establish the control necessary for a business combination, namely, when one or more corporations become
subsidiaries, when one company transfers its net assets to another, and when each combining company
transfers its net assets to a newly formed corporation.

2 The dissolution of all but one of the separate legal entities is not necessary for a business combination. An




S
example of one form of business combination in which the separate legal entities are not dissolved is when
one corporation becomes a subsidiary of another. In the case of a parent-subsidiary relationship, each




R
combining company continues to exist as a separate legal entity even though both companies are under the
control of a single management team.

3 A business combination occurs when two or more previously separate and independent companies are
brought under the control of a single management team. Merger and consolidation in a generic sense are
frequently used as synonyms for the term business combination. In a technical sense, however, a merger is
a type of business combination in which all but one of the combining entities are dissolved and a

IE
consolidation is a type of business combination in which a new corporation is formed to take over the
assets of two or more previously separate companies and all of the combining companies are dissolved.
H
4 Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for under the acquisition method when the cost of the
investment (fair value of the consideration transferred) exceeds the fair value of identifiable net assets
acquired. Under GAAP, goodwill is not amortized for financial reporting purposes and will have no effect
AC

on net income, unless the goodwill is deemed to be impaired. If goodwill is impaired, a loss will be
recognized.

5 A bargain purchase occurs when the acquisition price is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets
M


acquired. The acquirer records the gain from a bargain purchase as an ordinary gain during the period of the
acquisition. The gain equals the difference between the investment cost and the fair value of the identifiable
net assets acquired.
