To acquire these shares, Acme issued to the owners of Coyote $200,000 in long-term liabilities and 20,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $1 per share but a fair value of $20 per share. Acme paid $30,000 to accountants, lawyers, and brokers for assistance in the acquisition and another $12,000 in connection with stock issuance costs.
Prior to these transactions, the balance sheets for the two companies were as follows:"
