The "fair value" of the plant assets of Company B is $50 million. The fair value of cash and inventories is equal to their car- rying amounts. Companies A and B continued to keep separate books. 1. Prepare a tabulation showing the balance sheets of companies A and B, intercompany elimina- tions, and the consolidated balance sheet immediately after the acquisition. 2.
