Smith Manufacturing, Inc. has just  learned of a company that  complements its product line has become available for  sale. Smith is  interested in purchasing this company to diversify its product  line.  Smith's management has asked you to research how it should proceed with   the purchase in terms of the accounting treatment. The company would  like to  see its options on how to account for the purchase of a new  company. At this  point, there are no negotiations in process, so the  values are unknown. 

Prepare a letter to Smith  Manufacturing's management. In the letter  identify some of the concerns you may  have regarding the purchase. For  example; How are the assets valued? Is there  goodwill? Will it be a  parent-subsidiary? etc.
