On March 1, 2013, Nu-Auto Corporation announced its plan to acquire 90 percent of the outstanding 1,000,000 shares of Battery Tech Corporation's common stock in a business combination later in the year following regulatory approval. Nu-Auto will account for the transaction in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.
On October 1, 2013, Nu-Auto acquired the 90 percent controlling interest in Battery Tech. On this date, Nu-Auto paid $60 million in cash and issued 1 million shares of Nu-Auto common stock to the selling shareholders of Battery Tech. Nu-Auto's share price was $20 on the announcement date and $27 on the acquisition date. Battery Tech's remaining 100,000 shares of common stock traded in the $108 to $112 per share range in the weeks before and after October 1, 2013.
The parties agreed that Nu-Auto would issue to the selling shareholders an additional 1 million shares contingent upon the achievement of certain performance goals during the first 18 months following the acquisition. The acquisition-date fair value of the contingent stock issue was estimated at $10 million.
Battery Tech has a research and development (R D) project underway to develop a proprietary fast-charging battery technology. The technology has a fair value of $14 million. Nu-Auto considers this R D as in-process because it has not yet reached technological feasibility and additional R D is needed to bring the project to completion. No assets have been recorded in Battery Tech's financial records for the research and development costs related to its fast-charging battery technology.
Battery Tech's other assets and liabilities include the following:
Neither the receivables nor payables involve Nu-Auto.
Answer the following questions citing relevant support from the ASC and IFRS.
What values should Nu-Auto assign to identifiable assets and liabilities as part of the acquisition accounting
