    Answer: $650,000

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Fair and par value of issued bonds = $150,000

    Prior acquisition, McGuire reported

    Total assets = $500,000

    Liabilities = $280,000

    Stockholders' equity = $220,000

    At that date, Able reported

    Total assets = $400,000

    Liabilities = $250,000

    Stockholders' equity = $150,000

    Account payable to McGuire = $20,000

    Total assets reported by McGuire after acquisition:

    = Total assets + Fair value of investment

    = $500,000 + $150,000

    = $650,000
