Company 1 accounts for business combinations using acquisition method of accounting and amortises goodwill over a period of 10 years. Company 2 utilises pooling interest method. How would the financial ratios of these 2 firms differ should they be ssuccessful in conducting the acquisition, assuming that the price paid for the third company significantly exceeds both its book value and current market price?
