What is the solution to this problem?

On January 1, 2015, New Tune Company exchanges 16,888 shares of its common stock for all of the outstanding shares of On-the-Go, Inc. Each of New Tune'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. New Tune also paid $38,600 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:

	Book Values			Fair Values
Receivables	$	29,250		$	22,900
Trademarks		106,500			282,000
Record music catalog		67,000			190,000
In-process research and development		0			221,250
Notes payable		(62,500	)		(54,500	)

Recombination January 1, 2015, book values for the two companies are as follows:

	New Tune			On-the-Go
Cash	$	64,000		$	45,000
Receivables		117,000			29,250
Trademarks		494,000			106,500
Record music catalog		868,000			67,000
Equipment (net)		402,000			150,000

Totals	$	1,945,000		$	397,750

Accounts payable	$	(158,000	)	$	(44,750	)
Notes payable		(450,000	)		(62,500	)
Common stock		(400,000	)		(50,000	)
Additional paid-in capital		(30,000	)		(30,000	)
Retained earnings		(907,000	)		(210,500	)

Totals	$	(1,945,000	)	$	(397,750	)
Total common stock is $467,552 Additional paid-in capital is $776,848 as per calculation from the acquisition and $38,600 for stock issuance should be included.

Note: Parentheses indicate a credit balance.

Assume that this combination is a statutory merger so that On-the-Go's accounts will be transferred to the records of New Tune. On-the-Go will be dissolved and will no longer exist as a legal entity. Prepare a post combination balance sheet for New Tune 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. (For accounts where multiple consolidation entries are required, combine all debit entries into one amount and enter this amount in the debit column of the worksheet. Similarly, combine all credit entries into one amount and enter this amount in the credit column of the worksheet.)
