15. | ACQUISITIONS:
All of the following acquisitions, unless otherwise noted, were considered business combinations accounted for under ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” Pro forma information is not included in accordance with ASC 805 since no acquisitions were considered material individually or in the aggregate. On December 4, 2023, the Company acquired certain assets of Freeway Ford Truck Sales, Inc., which included real estate and a Ford commercial vehicle franchise in Chicago, Illinois, along with commercial vehicle and parts inventory. The transaction was valued at approximately $16.3 million, with the purchase price paid in cash. On November 7, 2022, the Company acquired certain assets of Scheppers International Truck Center, Inc., which included real estate and an International truck franchise in Jefferson City, Missouri, along with commercial vehicle and parts inventory. The transaction was valued at approximately $6.8 million, with the purchase price paid in cash. On May 2, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of an additional 30% equity interest in RTC Canada, resulting in an 80% controlling interest in RTC Canada. The acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition achieved in stages under ASC 805, Business Combinations. The acquisition-date fair value of the previous 50% equity interest was $50 million, resulting in a gain of $7.0 million included in the line item Other income (expense) on the Consolidated Statements of Income in the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company also recognized a reversal of deferred tax liabilities of $7.0 million and $0.6 million related to reclassification of the foreign currency translation adjustment related to the remeasurement of the Company’s previous equity method investment in RTC Canada. As of May 2, 2022, the Company established a noncontrolling interest related to the minority holders. The fair value of the 20% noncontrolling interest in RTC Canada is estimated to be $17.8 million. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was estimated using a combination of the income approach and a market approach. Since RTC Canada is a private company, the fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The fair value estimates are based on: (i) a discount rate of 11%; (ii) a terminal value based on a long-term sustainable growth rate of 3%; (iii) financial multiples of companies in the same industry as RTC Canada; and (iv) adjustments because of the lack of control or lack of marketability that market participants would consider when estimating the fair value of the noncontrolling interest in RTC Canada. The purchase price was allocated based on the fair values of the assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition as follows (in thousands):
Cash |  | $ | 4,310 |
Accounts receivable |  |  | 19,072 |
Inventory |  |  | 56,255 |
Property and equipment, including real estate |  |  | 80,196 |
Floor plan notes payable |  |  | (30,501 | )
Trade payables |  |  | (19,978 | )
Customer deposits |  |  | (1,980 | )
Accrued liabilities |  |  | (7,875 | )
Notes payable |  |  | (69,545 | )
Goodwill |  |  | 44,174 |
Franchise rights |  |  | 3,906 |
Other |  |  | 3,422 |
Equity investment in RTC Canada |  |  | (37,309 | )
Noncontrolling interest |  |  | (17,828 | )
Gain on equity method investment |  |  | (6,958 | )
Total |  | $ | 19,361 |
The goodwill of $44.2 million for the RTC Canada acquisition is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after obtaining a controlling interest in the entity. Prior to May 2, 2022, the Company accounted for its 50% equity interest in RTC Canada as an equity-method investment. Subsequent to the Company’s acquisition of the additional 50% equity interest on May 2, 2022, operations of RTC Canada are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
