Explanation:
There's not much difference between IFRS and U.S. GAAP when it comes to business acquisition.
In accordance with IFRS, FB Corp. would do the following procedure:
(1) record the acquired assets and liabilities at fair value
(2) expense any acquisition related costs such as legal fees
(3) ignore post acquisition costs when determining the values at acquisition
(4) calculate goodwill as the difference between the net assets and the acquisition price less legal fees.
