On January 1, NewTune Company exchanges 15,000 shares of its common stock for all of the outstanding shares of On-the-Go, Inc. Each of NewTune's shares has a $4 par value and a $50 fair value. The fair value of the stock exchanged in the acquisition was considered equal to On-the-Go's fair value. NewTune also paid $25.000 in stock registration and issuance costs in connection with the merger. Several of On-the-Go's accounts' fair values differ from their book values on this date (credit balances in parentheses):Book ValuesFair ValuesReceivables$ 65,000$ 63,000Trademarks95,000225,000Record music catalog60,000180,000In-process research and development-0-200,000Notes payable(50,000)(45,000)Precombination book values for the two companies are as follows:NewTuneOn-the-GoCash$ 60,000$ 29,000Receivables150,00065,000Trademarks400,00095,000Record music catalog840,00060,000Equipment (net)320,000105,000Totals$ 1,770,000$ 354,000Accounts payable$ (110,000)$ (34,000)Notes payable(370,000)(50,000)Common stock(400,000)(50,000)Additional paid-in capital(30,000)(30,000)Retained earnings(860,000)(190,000)Totals$(1,770,000)$(354,000)a.
