The intangible assets of a company being acquired were written up for book purposes from a pre-deal book value of $50m to $60m, but not for tax purposes, where the tax basis remained $50m. Assume that the target's definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years for both book and tax purposes. Also assume that the target assets will be amortized at the acquirer's tax rate of 40% post-acquisition. What is the impact on goodwill as a result of the book write-up and no tax step-up?
