    The founder and CEO of EBI recently received a proposal from the vice president of Great Deal, Inc. (GDI), a large discount retailer. The vice president proposed a joint venture between his company and EBI, citing the growing demand for organic products and the superior distribution channels of his organization. Under this venture EBI would make some minor changes to the manufacturing process of some of its best-selling baby foods, which would then be packaged and sold by GDI. Under the agreement, EBI would receive $3.10 per jar of baby food and would provide GDI a limited right to advertise the product as manufactured for Great Deal by EBI. Initial calculations determined that the direct materials, direct labor, and other variable costs needed for the GDI order would be about $2 per unit as compared to the full cost of $3 (materials, labor, and overhead) for the equivalent EBI product. The CEO must decide whether or not to accept the proposed venture from…

Management finally adopted the assumptions that the fair value of significant assets acquired was $865 million and that of other assets was $145 million. At the same time of the acquisition, management also decided that useful lives of the acquired plant and equipment were 30 years and 15 years, respectively, which were different from the 20 years and 10 years useful lives for the previously owned plant and equipment.
