balance sheet of X ltd. taken over by Y ltd.

 

 

liabilities                                         assets

share capital(100)  40000           goodwill    80000

general reserve      80000          L&B              110000

p&l                             38000        P&M              250000

Workmen compensation         stock&debtor    140000

(liabilty 8000)         15000       underwriting commision  10000

Fire Insuran ce fund 60000    prepaid expense           5000

creditors                   70000       cash                              118000

provision for tax        50000

TOTAL                       713000   Total                             713000

 

 

calculate PC in each case

1) all assets except cash are taken over at values stated in  the balance sheet ; and liabilties except that for taxation are assumed

2) each shareholder is paid 20 in cash and issued 100 each, valued at 120 for every 5 shares held; all assets and liabilities taken over

3) each share in the X co. is valued @ 150, PC to be discharged in form of shares in Y co @ 200 per share(entries being made at par value @ 100)

 

Also show p/l on realisation in each of the above case , assuming that liability for taxation in each case is 55000 and expenses of liquidation are 15000

answer:

PC                                       profit /loss on realisation

1) 507000                        loss 15000

2)656000                         profit 61000

3) 300000                        loss 295000

 

Also what will be the value placed on goodwill by Y ltd, in each of the above case assuming L&B valued at 150000 and P&M 230000

Answer: 1) 60000                   2) capital reserve 220000
