Working note:

Calculation of cash:

Calculation of investment:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Investment}\text{in}\text{Company}\text{T=}\text{Fair}\text{value}\text{of}\text{assets}\text{and}\text{liabilities}+\text{Undervalued}\text{assets}\\ =\$20,000+\$90,000+\$140,000+\$180,000+\$220,000\\ +\$50,000-\$40,000-\$200,000+\$55,000\\ =\$515,000\end{array}$ (2)

Calculation of Additional paid-in Capital:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Additional paid-in Capital}\text{=}\text{Additional paid-in Capital}\text{of}\text{Company}\text{M}\\ \text{+}\text{New}\text{Additional paid-in Capital}-\text{Stock}\text{issuance}\text{cost}\\ \text{=}\$360,000+\left(20,000\times 9\right)-\$12,000\\ =\$528,000\end{array}$ (3)

Calculation of Retained earnings, 1/1/18:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Retained earnings, 1/1/18 }\text{=}\text{\$420,000}\text{+}\text{Gain}\text{on}\text{bargain}\text{purchase}-\text{Amount}\text{paid}\text{to}\text{lawyers}\\ \text{=}\text{\$420,000}\text{+}\text{\$115,000}-\$30,000\\ =\$505,000\end{array}$ (4)
