Answer to Problem 1QC

c. credit to common stock for $30,000

Explanation of Solution

Common stock: These are the ordinary shares that a corporation issues to the investors in order to raise funds. In return, the investors receive a share of profit from the profits earned by the corporation in the form of dividend.

Par value: It refers to the value of a stock that is stated by the corporation’s charter. It is also known as face value of a stock.

Journal entry to record the issuance of common stock would be:

DateAccount Titles and ExplanationDebit ($)Credit ($)
Cash (1)330,000
Common Stock (2)30,000
Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par value –Common stock (3)300,000
(To record issuance stock for cash)

Table (1)

Working note:

Compute the amount of cash received.

Cash received = Number of shares×Market value of common stock= 30,000 shares × $11= $330,000 (1)

Compute common stock value.

Common stock value}= Number of shares×Par value of common stock= 30,000 shares × $1= $30,000 (2)

Compute paid-in capital in excess of par-common value.

Paid-in capital in excess of par-common value} = (Cash Common stock value )= $330,000 – $30,000= $300,000 (3)

  • Cash is an asset account. The amount has increased because cash is received by issuing shares; therefore, debit Cash account with $330,000.
  • Common Stock is a stockholders’ equity account and the amount has increased due to issuance of common stock. Therefore, credit Common Stock account with $30,000.
  • Paid–in Capital in Excess of Par–Common is a stockholders’ equity account and the amount has increased due to increase in capital. Therefore, credit Paid–in Capital in Excess of Par–Common account with $330,000.

Option a:

“Option a” is not correct, because issuance of stock debits cash account but not common stock account.

Option b:

“Option b” is not correct, because credit amount of paid-in capital in excess of par must be $300,000 but not $330,000.

Option c:

“Option c” is correct, issuance of common stock credits common stock account for $30,000.

Option d:

“Option d” is not correct, because option a is not correct, even if option b is correct.
