Accounting

On January 1, NewTune Company exchanges 17,907 shares of its common stock for all of the outstanding shares of On-the-Go, Inc. Each of NewTunes 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-Gos fair value. NewTune also paid $35,800 in stock registration and issuance costs in connection with the merger.

Several of On-the-Gos accounts fair values differ from their book values on this date:

Book Values Fair Values
Receivables $ 51,750 $ 48,400
Trademarks 114,750 282,750
Record music catalog 67,500 227,250
In-process research and development 0 221,250
Notes payable (70,750 ) (63,050 )

Precombination book values for the two companies are as follows:

NewTune On-the-Go
Cash $ 69,250 $ 41,250
Receivables 117,750 51,750
Trademarks 452,000 114,750
Record music catalog 913,000 67,500
Equipment (net) 390,000 150,000
Totals $ 1,942,000 $ 425,250
Accounts payable $ (182,000 ) $ (48,500 )
Notes payable (409,000 ) (70,750 )
Common stock (400,000 ) (50,000 )
Additional paid-in capital (30,000 ) (30,000 )
Retained earnings (921,000 ) (226,000 )
Totals $ (1,942,000 ) $ (114,750 )

  1. Assume that this combination is a statutory merger so that On-the-Gos accounts will be transferred to the records of NewTune. On-the-Go will be dissolved and will no longer exist as a legal entity. Prepare a postcombination balance sheet for NewTune as of the acquisition date.
  2. Assume that no dissolution takes place in connection with this combination. Rather, both companies retain their separate legal identities. Prepare a worksheet to consolidate the two companies as of the combination date.
