Current liabilities $ 7,840

All Gold Mining

Other assets 1,380
Long-term debt 0
Net fixed assets 6,110

Construct the balance sheet for the new corporation if the merger is treated as a purchase for accounting purposes. The market value of All Gold Mining's fixed assets is $7,510; the market values for current and other assets are the same as the book values. Assume that Silver Enterprises issues $14,660 in new long-term dept to finance the acquisition.

Answer 1

Answer:

                   Silver Enterprises Post Merger Balance Sheet

Current Assets                  12,920    Current liabilities          10,460

Other Asset                       4,480      Long-term debt            19,770

Net Fixed Asset                24,810     Equity                           17,450

Goodwill                            5,470                                                          

                                         $47,880                                         $47,680

Explanation:

Current assets = 10,000 + 2,920 = 12,920

Other assets = 3,100 + 1,380 = 4,480

Current liabilities = 7,840 + 2,620 = 10,460

Net fixed assets = 17,300 + 7,510= 24,810

Long-term debt = 5,110 + 14,660  = 19,770

Equity = $17,450
