FireEye describes the identifiable intangible assets acquired as follows: Content intangibles represent threat intelligence, which is continually gathered from ongoing monitoring of endpoints and by incident response and remediation teams. 

The intangible assets attributable to customer relationships relate to Mandiant’s ability to sell existing, in-process and future versions of its products and services to its existing customers. 

Developed technology intangibles includes a combination of patented and unpatented technology, trade secrets, and computer software and process that represent the foundation for planned new products and services. FireEye plans to amortize the developed technology over 4–6 years, the content intangibles over 10 years, customer relationships over 8 years, contract backlog over 1–3 years, and trade names over 4 years. Inprocess research and development has an indefinite life. 


Required 

Calculate the total acquisition cost reported by FireEye. Enter answer in thousands (ex: $8,500,000 equals $8,500 in thousands). 

How much goodwill was recognized for this acquisition? Enter answer in thousands (ex: $8,500,000 equals $8,500 in thousands). 

Prepare the journal entry FireEye would make if it recorded the combination as a merger. Round all numbers to the nearest thousand. Enter answers in thousands. Round answers to the nearest thousand, if applicable (ex: $6,436 equals $6 in thousands - rounded).

In December 2013, FireEye, Inc. acquired all of the outstanding shares of privately held Mandiant Corporation, a provider of computer security products, for $106,538,000 in cash and 16,921,000 shares of FireEye common stock with a fair value of $704,414,000 and a par value of $0.0001/share. In addition, Mandiant's existing vested stock option and restricted stock awards were converted to awards denominated in FireEye stock, in the amount of 6,680,000 shares with a fair value of $86,703,000. These awards have the same terms as when they were issued by Mandiant. FireEye estimates that unvested equity awards relating to post combination services have a current fair value of $122,600,000. Out-of-pocket acquisition- related costs were $8,500,000. The following table summarizes the date-of-acquisition fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Net tangible assets $9.629,000 Identifiable intangible assets: Developed technology 54,600,000 In-process research and development 1,400.000 Content intangibles 128,500,000 Customer relationships Contract backlog 66,000,000 12,600,000 Trade names 12,400,000 Deferred tax liability (90,105.000) Identifiable net assets acquired $195,024,000
