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 Corporations balance sheet appeared as follows (in condensed form):

CHAMPION CHEMICAL CORPORATION Balance Sheet At December 31, 2018 ($ in millions)

Liabilities $ 309
Common stock (412 million shares at $1 par) 412
Paid-in capitalexcess of par 100
Retained earnings (deficit) (299 )
$ 522

Required: 1. Prepare the journal entries appropriate to record the quasi reorganization on January 1, 2019. 2. Prepare a balance sheet as it would appear immediately after the restatement.
