Question

On January 1, NewTune Company exchanges 16,329 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 $46,600 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 Values	Fair Values
Receivables	$	34,000		$	27,700
Trademarks		99,250			252,250
Record music catalog		61,500			201,000
In-process research and development		0			201,750
Notes payable		(67,500	)		(61,000	)

Precombination book values for the two companies are as follows:

	NewTune	On-the-Go
Cash	$	65,250		$	51,500
Receivables		45,750			34,000
Trademarks		488,000			99,250
Record music catalog		924,000			61,500
Equipment (net)		416,000			171,000
Total Assets	$	1,939,000		$	417,250
Accounts payable	$	(144,000	)	$	(57,250	)
Notes payable		(417,000	)		(67,500	)
Common stock		(400,000	)		(50,000	)
Additional paid-in capital		(30,000	)		(30,000	)
Retained earnings		(948,000	)		(212,500	)
Total liabilities and equities	$	(1,939,000	)	$	(417,250	)

Assume that this combination is a statutory merger so that On-the-Go’s 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.
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.
