Constructing the Consolidated Balance Sheet at Acquisition On January 1 of the current year, Healy Company purchased all of the common shares of Miller Company for $500,000 cash. Balance sheets of the two firms immediately after the acquisition follow: During purchase negotiations, Miller's plant assets were appraised at $425,000 and all of its remaining assets and liabilities were appraised at values approximating their book values.

P uses the cost method to record its investment in S. For external reporting purposes consolidated statements are required. However, the purchase did result in the acquisition of goodwill of $55,000.
