To illustrate, assume the acquiring company purchases all of the stock of the investee for a purchase price of $1,100 (instead of $800, as in the previous example), with a cash payment of $600 and issu- ance of 100 shares of $1 par value common stock with a fair value of $500 ($5 per share). Assume the investor is willing to pay the increased purchase price because the building, reported on the investee’s balance sheet at a net book value (cost less accumulated depreciation) of $600, has a current fair value of $900. The purchase price of $1,100, then, is comprised of two conceptual components: the book value of the Stockholders’ Equity of the investee company plus the portion of the building’s value not reported on the investee’s balance sheet:

Solution

The acquiring company purchases all of the stock of the investee for a purchase price of 1,100.Thisisdonethroughacashpaymentof1,100. This is done through a cash payment of 600 and the issuance of 100 shares of 1parvaluecommonstockwithafairvalueof1 par value common stock with a fair value of 500 (5pershare).Theinvestoriswillingtopaytheincreasedpurchasepricebecausethebuilding,reportedontheinvesteesbalancesheetatanetbookvalue(costlessaccumulateddepreciation)of5 per share). The investor is willing to pay the increased purchase price because the building, reported on the investee’s balance sheet at a net book value (cost less accumulated depreciation) of 600, has a current fair value of $900.

The purchase price of $1,100 is comprised of two conceptual components:

  1. The book value of the Stockholders’ Equity of the investee company: This is the value of the company's assets minus its liabilities. In this case, it includes the net book value of the building ($600).

  2. The portion of the building’s value not reported on the investee’s balance sheet: This is the difference between the building's current fair value (900)anditsnetbookvalue(900) and its net book value (600). In this case, it amounts to $300.

So, the 1,100purchasepriceismadeupofthe1,100 purchase price is made up of the 800 book value of the investee's equity (including the 600netbookvalueofthebuilding)andtheadditional600 net book value of the building) and the additional 300 of the building's value not reported on the balance sheet.
