Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The presentation of the financial statement effects template is shown below:

                                             Balance Sheet

Transaction Cash Asset + Non- cash Assets = Liabilities + Contributed Capital + Earned Capital

1 -$144,000 $144,000 $0.00  $0.00  $0.00

2 $13,200  $0.00  $0.00  $0.00  $13,200

3 $0.00  -$9,000  $0.00  $0.00  -$9,000

4 $133,800       -$135,000 $0.00  $0.00  -$1,200.00

                                                Income Statement

Transaction  Revenue   - Expenses = Net Income

1          $0.00          $0.00           $0.00

2          $13,200          $0.00           $13,200

3         $0.00                      -$9,000.00  -$9,000

4          $0.00          $1,200.00  -$1,200.00

Working note

1. 12,000 shares × $12 = $144,000

2. 12,000 shares × $1.10 = 13,200 shares

3. ($12 - $11.25) × 12,000 shares = $9,000

The amount of  items displayed in the financial statement affect that account and in which the amount is zero does not affect overall.
