On July 28, 2021, the Company’s Power & Vision segment formed a joint venture with LG Electronics [“LG”], LG Magna
e-Powertrain
Co., Ltd. [“LME”], for cash consideration of $517 million. LME is a variable interest entity [“VIE”] and depends on the Company and LG for funding. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary. The Company’s known maximum exposure to loss approximated the carrying value of its investment balance as at December 31, 2021.
The difference between the purchase price of the Company’s investment in LME and its proportionate share of the fair value of LME’s net assets created a basis difference of $188 million, which has been allocated on a preliminary basis as follows:
 
Equity method goodwill
    $ 118  
Intangible assets
      47  
Fixed assets
      47  
Deferred tax liabilities
      (24 ) 
    
 
 
  
Total basis difference included in equity method investments
    $ 188  
    
 
 
  
The basis differences for intangible and fixed assets are being amortized over an average estimated useful life
of 8 years.

The Company accounts for its investments under the equity method of accounting as a result of significant participating rights that prevent control.
