Explanation:
Common stock of $9,000 was posted on the debit side as it appeared first. This follows the normal order of recording transactions in the journal. The accounts to be debited are recorded first before the accounts to be credited. However, this entry appears abnormal. Cash of $9,000 should have appeared first in the journal before the Common Stock. Whichever is the correct interpretation, all the journal entries have been posted to the T-accounts accordingly.
