and fair values were available for the Brem Company accounts:
In addition, Acme paid an investment bank $30,900 cash for assistance in arranging the combination.
Required:

its acquisition of Brem in its accounting records assuming the cash amounts of $651,900 and $446,300

applied the acquisition method?
