Answer 1

Answer:

1.

DR Cash $192,000  

     CR Common stock.   $160,000

     CR Paid-in capital in excess of par value - Common stock  $32,000

Working

Common Stock = $20 * 8,000

= $160,000

Paid-in capital in excess of par value - Common stock = 192,000 - 160,000

= $32,000

2

DR Organization expenses $33,000  

       CR Common stock,  $4,000

     CR Paid-in capital in excess of stated value - common stock  $29,000

Working

Common Stock = 1 * 4,000

= $4,000

Paid-in capital in excess of stated value, common stock = 33,000 - 4,000

= $29,000

3

DR Organization expenses $33,000  

       CR Common stock  $33,000

4

DR Cash $183,000  

        CR Preferred stock  $150,000

        CR Paid-in capital in excess of par value - preferred stock  $33,000

Working

Preferred Stock = 75 * 2,000

= $150,000

Paid-in capital in excess of par value - preferred stock = 183,000 - 150,000

= $33,000
