I am looking at Problem 2-1 in the textbook (Advanced Accounting 5th Edition) which states that we need to prepare journal entries. The condensed balance sheets gives the following:

Phillips

Solina

Current assets

180,000

85,000

Plant and equip

450,000

140,000

Total assets

630,000

225,000

Total Liabilities

95,000

35,000

Common stock $10 par value

350,000

160,000

Other contributed capital

125,000

53,000

Retained Earnings (deficit)

60,000

-23,000

Total Liab and Equity

630,000

225,000

The following is what I am coming up as my solution for my journal entries:The plant & equip has a fair value of $150,000 on date of consolidation and Phillips, who is the acquiring Solina, incurred direct acquisition cost of $20,000 and stock issue cost $6,000. Phillips has agreed to issue 20,000 shares of its $10 par stock to acquire all the net asset of Solina at a time when the fair value was at $15 per share.

total current asset 85,000
total plant & equip 15,000
acquisition fees 20,000
security issue cost 6,000
Goodwill 100,000
total liabilities 35,000
common stock (20,000 x $10) 200,000
common stock (20,000 x ($15 - 10)) 100,000

Would greatly appreciate any help on this.
