In order to allocate the consideration transferred for BS Plastic, the fair values of all identifiable assets and liabilities were established. For accounting and financial reporting purposes, fair value is defined under FASB ASC Topic
820,
“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Additionally, fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use of that asset by market participants. We determined the fair value of the property and equipment using a market approach and we determined the fair value of customer relationships acquired primarily by using an income approach.
 
Customer relationships have an estimated useful life of
5
years.
