Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block] | 7. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets As discussed in Note 2, Acquisitions, when the Company acquires a business the amount assigned to the tangible assets and liabilities and intangible assets acquired is based on their respective fair values determined as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible assets and liabilities and intangible assets is recorded as goodwill. The following details the changes in the Company’s intangible assets and goodwill related to the Company’s acquisitions as well as its asset purchases for the years ended August 30, 2014 and August 31, 2013 as well as the respective periods over which the assets will be amortized (in thousands, except weighted average life in years). These amounts include additional payments associated with prior year acquisitions as well as changes to acquisition purchase allocations that had not been finalized as of the end of the prior fiscal year:
