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.
