A new CEO was hired to revive the floundering Champion Chemical
Corporation. The company had endured operating losses for several
years, but confidence was emerging that better times were ahead.
The board of directors and shareholders approved a quasi
reorganization for the corporation. The reorganization included
devaluing inventory for obsolescence by $115 million and increasing
land by $5 million. Immediately prior to the restatement, at
December 31, 2018, Champion Chemical Corporation’s balance sheet
appeared as follows (in condensed form):

Required:
1. Prepare the journal entries appropriate to
record the quasi reorganization on January 1, 2019.
