Answer:
b) $225,000
Explanation:
Common Stock ($0.50 x 450,000) $225,000
Discount on capital (($4-$0.5) x 450,000 $1,575,000
Retained Earning ( $100,000 - $40,000 ) <u>$60,000 </u>
Total Equity <u>$1,860,000</u>
Shares are recorded in the common stock account at the par value. Difference of $4 and $0.5 is recorded as add in capital excess of par common shares.
Should be a balance sheet.
