Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a company acquires another company in a pooling of interests transaction, the book value of the acquired company's assets is used to account for the pooling. This is because the pooling method requires that the two companies' financial statements be combined as if they had always been together, and therefore the book values of the assets at the time of the combination are used. Fair value, net present value, and future value are not used in this accounting method.
