A basket purchase refers to the acquisition of multiple assets in a single transaction for a lump-sum price. In basket purchase accounting, the total cost is allocated among the acquired assets based on their relative fair market values. This method ensures accurate financial reporting and asset valuation. Basket purchases are common in business combinations and asset acquisitions, requiring careful allocation to comply with accounting standards.
