Expert Solution

A ) the main goal of quasi reorganization is to bring the retained earnings balance to zero.In this case LR corp has a deficit retained earnings of (140000$) which should be eliminated.

B ) steps involved in Quasi Reorganization.

Overvalued assets should be written down to fair value with a direct reduction in retained earnings. Although this increases the deficit momentarily, it will reduce the future depreciation expense. Liabilities are also restated to their fair values with any resulting offset going to the retained earnings deficit.

Once asset have been reduced to fair value, either additional paid in capital or the par value of common stock is reduced to balance out the elimination of the retained earnings deficit.

C ) Journal Entries :

Additional paid in capital A/c -Dr 150000$

To inventory A/c. 10000$

To retained earnings deficit A/c. 140000$

( Being retained earnings are eliminated and inventory valued at FMV and adjusted against additional paid on capital )
