Assume that the parent company acquires its subsidiary by exchanging 55,000 shares of its Common Stock, with a market value on the acquisition date of $40 per share, for all of the outstanding voting shares of the investee. In its analysis of the investee company, the parent values all of the subsidiary's assets and liabilities at an amount equaling their book values except for a building that it feels is undervalued by $500,000, an unrecorded License Agreement that the parent values at $250,000, and an unrecorded Customer List owned by the subsidiary that the parent values at $100,000. Any further discrepancy between the purchase price and the book value of the subsidiary's Stockholders' Equity is attributed to expected synergies to be realized by the consolidated company as a result of the acquisition.
Given the following acquisition-date balance sheets of the parent and subsidiary, at what amounts will each of the following be reported on the consolidated balance sheet?

b) For the consolidated balance sheet, the assets and liabilities of the parent and subsidiary are consolidated based on their fair values.  The investment in the subsidiary is eliminated.  If the assets increased in their fair values, unrealized gains on fair values are created for the revalued assets.  On the equity side, the subsidiary's equity is eliminated.  Any difference is attributed to Goodwill on acquisition.

d. all of the above are true.
