Company A has been talking to company B about forming a new business entity. Company B is also a distributor of office equipment, and has a wholly owned manufacturing subsidary called Nogo. Company A and B have agreed thet they will exchange their entire interest in their wholly owned subsidairies, jk and Nogo. This new corporation would recieve both subsidiaries and issue 50% stock to Company A, and 50% stock to company B. The Fair value of the net assets of each subsidiary exceeds its book value, and the relative net book values and fair values of the two subsidiarse are not proportional.
