Answer:
The answer is $19,500
Explanation:
The consideration transferred for Hoyt's acquisition of Brown would be the fair value of issue of shares and the fair value of brown's liabilities.
Cost of shares = 400 shares x $45
=$18,000
Fair value of Liability = $1,500
Therefore, consideration transferred for Hoyt's acquisition of Brown would be:
$18,000+$1,500
=$19,500
