Prepare a consolidation worksheet


On January 1, 2009, Rand Corp. issued shares of its common stock to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Spaulding Inc. Spaulding's book value was only $140,000 at the time, but Rand issued 12,000 shares having a par value of $1 per share and a fair value of $20 per share. Rand was willing to convey these shares because it felt that buildings (ten-year life) were undervalued on Spaulding's records by $60,000 while equipment (five-year life) was undervalued by $25,000. Any consideration transferred over fair value of identified net assets acquired is assigned to goodwill.
