Building a/c-------Dr      $170000

Common stock a/c-------Cr    $144000

Paid-in capital in excess of par value a/c------ Cr      $26000  

Explanation:

Given: Share issued= 36000

           Price per share= $4 par value.

           Building market value= $170000.

Finding the value of common stock.

Value of common stock= [tex]Number\ of\ share\ issued\times par\ value\ of\ common\ stock[/tex]

∴ Value of common stock= [tex]36000\times 4= \$ 144000[/tex]

Excess of paid in capital with exchange of common stock= [tex]Building\ market\ value - value\ of\ common\ stock[/tex]
