Suppose the fair market value of Loaf's fixed assets is $7,200 versus the $3,300 book value shown. Meat pays $10,200 for Loaf and raises the needed funds through an issue of long-term debt. Assume the purchase method of accounting is used. The post-merger balance sheet of Meat Co. will have total debt of ______ and total equity of ______.
