Microtech also has developed technology with a fair value of $$100$ million and client relationships worth $$29$ million. Both intangibles satisfy the Codification's criteria for capitalization. Webnet Solution's assets and liabilities are all fairly stated and it has no previously unrecorded intangibles. Assume that the two companies have the same stock price.
