The FASB ASC 845-10-30 provides guidance for certain nonmonetary exchanges in which one entity transfers nonfinancial assets to a second entity in exchange for a noncontrolling ownership interest in that second entity. Exchanges of nonmonetary assets for noncontrolling ownership interest in a second entity must be accounted for at fair value and full or partial gain recognition is required. The fair value of the asset given up ($6.5M) was greater than the carrying value ($6M).

Research limitations/implications – This research demonstrates that there is a significant difference in the personal and social fairness of price, whether it is a price for goods, wages or rents. Practical implications – Sellers, employers and realtors can benefit from the knowledge that providing a socially acceptable reason for the increase of a product or rental price or the decrease of a wage can increase the likelihood that the recipients will judge the price increase as being fair.
