Assume that the following balance sheets are stated at book value. The fair market value of James's fixed assets is equal to $9,900. Jurion pays $16,720 for James and raises the needed funds through an issue of long-term debt.

Jurion Co.
Current assets $ 12,450 Current liabilities $ 5,540
Net fixed assets 36,900 Long-term debt 10,100
Equity 33,710
Total $ 49,350 Total $ 49,350

James, Inc.
Current assets $ 3,580 Current liabilities $ 1,540
Net fixed assets 6,880 Long-term debt 2,080
Equity 6,840
Total $ 10,460 Total $ 10,460

Construct a postmerger balance sheet assuming that Jurion Co. purchases James, Inc., and the purchase method of accounting is used.
