4.3 Contribution of Nonmonetary Assets

4.3 Contribution of Businesses or Assets for an Investment in an Equity Method Investee

An investor may contribute a business or assets in exchange for an equity method investment or an interest in a joint venture. The accounting for the contribution of a business or assets will generally depend on (1) whether the investee (i.e., the counterparty) is considered to be a customer in the transaction, (2) the nature of the asset that was contributed, and (3) in some cases, the legal form of the transaction.
