Answer: Please see explanation column for answers.

Explanation:

a)Journal to record  issuance of the shares at a stated value of $1

Date             Account  and explanation            Debit          Credit

june 6       Cash                                               $24,000

          Common stock  at $1 stated value                            $4000

Paid in capital in excess of stated value                               $20,000

Calculation:

Cash = issued shares x price per share

4000 x $6 = $24,000

paid in capital  in excess pf par stated value =  $6- $1 x 4000 = $20,000

b)Journal to record  issuance of the stock in acquiring the land.

Date             Account  and explanation            Debit          Credit

             Land                                                   $85,000

          Common stock  at $10 (5000 x 10)                            $50,000

Paid in capital in excess of par value                                  $35,000

Calculation:

cash to purchase land = issued shares x price per share

85,000= 5000 x $

$ = 85,000 /5000 = $17

Paid in capital in excess of par value $17-10 x 5000 = $35,000
