a. In the acquisition of a business, the cost may exceed the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.

b. In the acquisition of a business, contingent consideration is not included in the measurement of total cost.

c. In the acquisition of a group of assets and liabilities, consulting fees paid to complete the transaction are expensed.

d. In the acquisition of a group of assets and liabilities, previously unreported identifiable intangible assets are likely to be recognized.
