In class, we discussed Pfizer's attempt to acquire Warner-Lambert. This acquisition was completed on June 19, 2000, and Pfizer reported the deal using "Pooling of Interests".

Based on your analysis, what is the total amount of "Goodwill" and "Intangible Assets" (i.e. the sum) that Pfizer avoid having to report as a result of being able to record this transaction as a "Pooling of Interests". For purposes of this problem, you may assume that the fair values and book values are equal for any assets and liabilities reported by Warner-Lambert.

(Please be certain to state any assumptions that you are making. Also, please note that copies of Pfizer's 1999 and 2000 Annual Reports, and Warner-Lambert's 1999 Annual Report have been posted on Canvas.)
