Multiple Choice

Figure:
On January 1, 20X1, the Moody company entered into a transaction for 100% of the outstanding common stock of Osorio Company. To acquire these shares, Moody issued $400 in long-term liabilities and 40 shares of common stock having a par value of $1 per share but a fair value of $10 per share. Moody paid $20 to lawyers, accountants, and brokers for assistance in bringing about this acquisition. Another $15 was paid in connection with stock issuance costs. Prior to these transactions, the balance sheets for the two companies were as follows: $\begin{array}{lrr}&\text { Moody }&\text { Osorio }\\\text { Cash } & \$ 180 & \$ 40 \\\text { Receivables } & 810 & 180 \\\text { Inventories } & 1,080 & 280 \\\text { Land } & 600 & 360 \\\text { Buildings (net) } & 1,260 & 440 \\\text { Equipment (net) } & 480 & 100\\\text { Accounts payable } & (450) &(80) \\\text { Long-term liabilities } & (1,290) &(400) \\\text { Common stock }(\$ 1 \text { par }) &(330) \\\text { Common stock }(\$ 20 \text { par }) & & (240) \\\text { Additional paid-in capital } & (1,080) & (340) \\\text { Retained earnings } & (1,260) & (340) \end{array}$ Note: Parentheses indicate a credit balance.
