Answer:

B.) Par value of the share issued

Explanation:

This transaction just have to follow the rules of issuing stocks for non-cash assets. The rule is to record on the basis of MARKET VALUE of the services received or the MARKET VALUE of the shares issued whichever can be objectively determined.

The <u><em>least appropriate basis</em></u> would be the Par Value of the shares issued since the par value are usually significantly lower than its market value.

Par value are determined from the creation of the company and the company grows and increases its value.
