Answer:
$78,000
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Cash & Receivables A/c Dr $53,000
Inventory A/c Dr $203,000
Land A/c Dr $109,000
Plant & Equipment A/c Dr $310,000
Discount on Bonds payable A/c Dr $16,000 ($566,000 - $550,000)
To Account payable $47,000
To Bond payable $566,000
To gain on purchase $78,000
(Being the exchange is recorded and the balancing figure is credited to gain on purchase account)
The computation of gain on purchase account would be
= Fair value of assets - fair value of account payable - fair value of the bonds issued by Planter
= $675,000 - $47,000 - $550,000
= $78,000
Note: The land historical cost and fair value is $62,000 and $109,000 respectively
