Question 3
Hi Co. and Lo Co. are engaging in an asset purchase transaction with Lo selling all of its assets to Hi. Which individuals are entitled to a vote on whether or not the asset purchase transaction should proceed?
Correct In an asset purchase transaction, only the selling firm's shareholders are allowed a vote on the transaction. This is a fundamental change in the operations of the firm, so the selling company's shareholders get to have a say in whether or not the deal should move forward. For the buying firm, on the other hand, such a transaction merely constitutes a purchase in the ordinary course of business.

Question 4
Which of the following companies is most likely to engage in an asset purchase agreement?
Correct
Incorrect!
Correct In an asset purchase agreement, it is not uncommon that the selling firm is in a position where the company continues to have valuable assets, but the company is facing either large liability in court or from some other potential creditors. In such a situation, the firm might choose to liquidate its assets through an asset purchase and use the funds from the transaction to satisfy the liability or fight the liability in court.

Question 5
When a company engages in any form of merger transaction and a part of the transaction cost is accounted for by a bookkeeping entry that is attributed to the firm's history and not necessarily to a physical asset, that entry is labeled as:
Correct
Incorrect!
Correct
Incorrect!
Correct
Incorrect!
Correct In any business combination, there is likely to be some percentage of the cost paid that is attributable not to any one asset of the firm, but rather to the firm itself. The reason for this is that a company which has a good reputation in the market, has satisfied customers, and is otherwise considered a good standing member of the business community should have some value ascribed to that image. As such, when accounting for a merger transaction, the purchasing company can assign a value in its own books to the premium paid for the firm by purchasing not only its assets, but its goodwill as well.
