Answer 1

Answer:

A) $792,000

Explanation:

33,000 shares of common stock

issued at:

market value 24 dollars

face vale         1 dollar

additional paid-in 23 per share

Equity:

Common Stock

33,000 shares x   1 =    33,000

Additional Paid-in capital

33,000 shares x 23 = 759,000

Total capital               792,000

The total paid-in capital will be the sum of both, the common stock and the paid-in capital in excess of par.
