Answer:

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 Â
