german

DEBIT $ 43.000 Promotion Expenses

CREDIT $ 43.000 Common Stock  

DEBIT $ 218.000 Cash  

CREDIT $ 175.000 Preferred Stock  

CREDIT $ 43.000 Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par Value  

Explanation:

DEBIT $ 84.000 Cash  

CREDIT $ 70.000 Common Stock  

CREDIT $ 14.000         Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par Value  

As the company declared a par value, it's necessary to split the equity in two accounts, Common Stock  

for the stated value ($70,000) and the Paid in Capital for the excess of cash over the Common Stock ($14,000)  

DEBIT $ 43.000 Promotion Expenses

As the company declared a par value, it's necessary to split the equity in two accounts, Common Stock  

for the stated value ($3,500) and the Paid in Capital for the excess of the price over the Common Stock ($39,500)  

In this case there is no cash because the shares are in exchange for the promotions effort (Expenses)

DEBIT $ 43.000 Promotion Expenses  

CREDIT $ 43.000 Common Stock  

As the company declared no-par value, it's not necessary to split the equity in two accounts, full value to common stocks account

In this case there is no cash because the shares are in exchange for the promotions effort (Expenses)

DEBIT $ 218.000 Cash  

CREDIT $ 175.000 Preferred Stock  

CREDIT $ 43.000 Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par Value  

Last escenario the company declared preffered stock and not Common ones, so the equity account in this case it's Preferred stock  

as the par value it's $100 ($175,000) to Preferred Stock and Paid in Capital for the excess of the price ($43,000)
