Each of NewTune's shares has a $4 par value and a S50 fair value. The fair value of the stock exchanged in the acquisition was considered equal to On-the-Go's fair value. NewTune also paid S25,000 in stock registration and issaance costs in connection with the merger Several of On-the-Go's accounts' fair values differ from their book values on this date Book Values Fair Values $ 63,000 225,000 180,000 200,000 (45,000) 65,000 95,000 60,000 Record music catalog In-process research and development Notes payable (50,000) Precombination January 1, 2015, book values for the two companies are as follow NewTune On-the-Go s 29,000 65,000 95,000 60,000 105,000 Cash S 60,000 Trademarks.

Rather, both companies retain their separate legal identities. Prepare a worksheet to consolidate the two companies as of the combination date. c. How do the balance sheet accounts compare across parts (a) and (b)?

Explanation / Answer

SOLUTION:

1)

NewTune acquires 100% of On-the-Go with issuance of 15,000 shares of their $4 par value. Common market value $50/share

15,000 @ 50 = 750,000; 15,000 @ 4 = 60,000; 750,000 - 60,000 = 690,000

NewTune acquires 100% of On-the-Go with issuance of 15,000 shares of their $4 par value. Common market value $50/share

15,000 @ 50 = 750,000; 15,000 @ 4 = 60,000; 750,000 - 60,000 = 690,000
