    Vince Company and Cody Enterprises had the following stockholders' equity figures prior to their business combination:

    Vince Company Code Enterprises
    Common stock ($1 par value) $ 281,700 $ 70,500
    Additional paid-in capital $ 140,900 $ 31,300
    Retained earnings $ 469,500 $ 172,200

    Vince issues 70,000 new shares of its common stock valued at $4 per share for all of the outstanding stock of Cody Enterprises. Assume that Vince acquires Cody. Immediately after the acquisition, what are the consolidated beginning balances in Additional Paid-in Capital and Retained Earnings respectfully?

    I think Vince will make a journal entry to acquire:

    Investment in Code  280,000
                Common Stock    $70,000
                Add paid in         $210,000

    So I think the balances will be:

    Add paid in 140,900 + 210,000 = 350,900
    R/E remains the same

    Answer C.

    Someone please advise if not correct.
