Question 2:
Assume that the following statements of financial position are stated and a book value.
Alpha Corporation |
|||
Current Assets |
$15,000 |
Current Liabilities |
$5,400 |
Net Fixed Assets |
39,000 |
Long-Term Debt |
10,100 |
Equity |
38,500 |
||
$54,000 |
$54,000 |
Beta Corporation |
|||
Current Assets |
$3,600 |
Current Liabilities |
$1,400 |
Net Fixed Assets |
6,700 |
Long-Term Debt |
2,100 |
Equity |
6,800 |
||
$10,300 |
$10,300 |
Suppose the fair market value of Beta’s fixed assets is $9,500
rather than the $6,700 book value shown. Alpha pays $17,300 for
Beta and raises the needed funds through an issue of long-term
debt. Construct the post-merger statement of financial position
now, assuming that the purchase method of accounting is used.
