Quasi-Reorganization
The Hassani Corporation has the following balance sheet:
Current assets | $ 700,000 | Current liabilities | $ 600,000 |
Noncurrent assets | 3,600,000 | Long-term liabilities | 2,950,000 |
Common stock ($10 par) | 1,700,000 | ||
Retained earnings | (950,000) | ||
Total assets | $4,300,000 | Total liabilities and equity | $4,300,000 |
Company profitability has been marginal, in part due to book values
of noncurrent assets that do not adequately reflect the reduced
earning power of the assets. To give its balance sheet a better
basis for future profitability, the company decides to undertake a
quasi-reorganization. Hassani writes down noncurrent assets to
their fair value of $3,000,000 and replaces the current common
stock with 100,000 shares of a new issue having a $1 par
value.
