The book value of Bests net assets at acquisition was $90,000. The book values and fair values of Bests assets and liabilities were equal, except for Bests buildings and equipment, which were worth $18,000 more than book value. Accumulated depreciation on the buildings and equipment was $24,000 on the acquisition date.Buildings and equipment are depreciated on a 10-year basis.
