Stockholders' Equity Convertible Preferred Stock Our board of directors has authorized 100,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock, $0.001 par value, issuable in series. At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011, there were no shares issued or outstanding. Class A and Class B Common Stock Our board of directors has authorized two classes of common stock, Class A and Class B.

The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 10 votes per share. Shares of Class B common stock may be converted at any time at the option of the stockholder and automatically convert upon sale or transfer to Class A common stock. We refer to Class A and Class B common stock as common stock throughout the notes to these financial statements, unless otherwise noted. The following is an excerpt from Google's quarterly report for the second quarter of 2012: Note 8. Acquisitions On May 22, 2012, we completed our acquisition of Motorola, a provider of innovative technologies, products and services that enable a range of mobile and wireline digital communication, information and entertainment experiences. The acquisition is expected to protect and advance our Android ecosystem and enhance competition in mobile computing. Under the transaction, we acquired all outstanding common shares of Motorola for $40 per share and all vested Motorola stock options and restricted stock units, for a total purchase price of approximately $12.4 billion in cash. Of the $12.4 billion total purchase price, $2.9 billion was cash acquired, $5.5 billion was attributed to patents and developed technology, $2.6 billion to goodwill, $730 million to customer relationships, $2,870 million to other tangible assets acquired, and $2.2 billion of liabilities assumed. The goodwill of $2.6 billion is primarily attributed to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. Suppose Google had acquired Motorola by issuing shares instead of paying cash. Would Total Stockholders' equity as of the date of the acquisition, May 22, 2012 have been higher than, lower than or the same as currently reported? If different, by how much?

The following is an excerpt from Google's quarterly report for the second quarter of 2012: Note 8. Acquisitions On May 22, 2012, we completed our acquisition of Motorola, a provider of innovative technologies, products and services that enable a range of mobile and wireline digital communication, information and entertainment experiences. The acquisition is expected to protect and advance our Android ecosystem and enhance competition in mobile computing. Under the transaction, we acquired all outstanding common shares of Motorola for $40 per share and all vested Motorola stock options and restricted stock units, for a total purchase price of approximately $12.4 billion in cash. Of the $12.4 billion total purchase price, $2.9 billion was cash acquired, $5.5 billion was attributed to patents and developed technology, $2.6 billion to goodwill, $730 million to customer relationships, $2,870 million to other tangible assets acquired, and $2.2 billion of liabilities assumed. The goodwill of $2.6 billion is primarily attributed to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition.
