The fair value of all other net assets was equal to the carrying values.

Aston's payables balance includes $6,000 payable to Mart, and Mart's receivables balance includes $20,000 owing from Aston. At the year end, it was established that Mart had dispatched goods to Aston with a selling price of $9,000 and that Aston did not receive delivery of these items until after the year end.
