    Total assets X Y 1,152,000

    Explanation:

    Since both the firms do not have any liability - Book value of equity = Carrying value of assets

    Goodwill = Net consideration - Market Value of Assets of Y

    Assets from X 18 x 43000 774000

    Assets From y 14 x 18000 252000

    Goodwill (18000 x (14+7)) - 252000 = 126000

    Total assets X Y 1152000
