Bargain Purchase
Valuation of Net Assets Acquired:
Current assets, long-term investments in marketable securities, liabilities = fair value
Previously recorded goodwill = 0
Long-term assets = fair value - bargain allocation
(The bargain is allocated to long-term assets in proportion to their fair value.)
Any remaining bargain is recorded as negative goodwill and amortized over a maximum of 40 years.
