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. However, through negotiation Company A and B believe their contributions to the newly formed corporation would be equal in value inspite of this disproportional relationship. The fair value of a 50% interest in the new corporation would exceed the carrying value of Company A's investment in Company B.
