--issuance of shares in exchange of equipment--

Explanation:

Feb 12th

cash proceeds: 3,000,000 x $9 = 27,000,000

common stock: 3,000,000 x $1 =    3,000,000

additional paid-in                            24,000,000

Feb 13th

as the market value of the shares is 9 dollars we recognize this to valued the shares issued for legal services:

46,000 x 9 = 414,000

46,000 x 1  =   46,000

additional      368,000

Feb 13th

we calculate the preferred stock value based on the price of the common shares

total:                                          990,000

common shares: 89,000 x 9 = (774,000)

preferred shares:                      216,000

now we calculate the additional paid-in:

additional on common shares: 86,000 x 8 = 688,000

preferred shares: 4,000 x 50 = 200,000

additional on preferred shares:   16,000

the equipment enter the accounting at his value so we calcualte the additional paid in by the difference:

3,808,000 Equipment - 375,000 face value of shares =  3,433,000
