    Hallo,

    If a shareholder buys an off the shelf company for 1000 euro, then backs into this company some assets due to an agreement with a previous company, how does one account for the opening balances?
    I assume it must take the existing companies balance sheet items as its own , but the shelf company only had 1dollar as capital, so I assume it will be 1000 euro Share Capital and 1000 euro Payable

    Hi,

    I don’t think you’ll find this in the FR exam and it looks like you’re asking for technical advice in relation to a work related item.. I therefore cannot answer this question, sorry.

    Thanks
