Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

a)

DR Cash $ 50,000

CR Common Stock $23,450

CR Paid in Capital in Excess of Par $26,550

(To record issuance of common stock)

Common Stock = 3,350 shares * $7

= $23,450

Paid in Capital in Excess of Stock = 50,000 - 23,450

= $26,550

b)

DR Cash $ 50,000

CR Common Stock $23,450

CR Paid in Capital in Excess of Stated Value $26,550

(To record issuance of common stock)

Common Stock = 3,350 shares * $7

= $23,450

Paid in Capital in Excess of Stated Value = 50,000 - 23,450

= $26,550

c)

DR Cash $50,000

CR Common Stock $50,000

(To record Issuance of Stock)

d) DR Organizational Expense $ 50,000

CR Paid in Capital in Excess of Par $26,550

(To record payment of Organization Expense with stock)

Common Stock = 3,350 shares * $7

= $23,450

Paid in Capital in Excess of Par = 50,000 - 23,450

= $26,550

e) DR Land $ 50,000

CR Common Stock $23,450

CR Paid in Capital in Excess of Par $26,550

(To record issuance of common stock in Exchange of land)

Paid in Capital in Excess of Par = 50,000 - 23,450

= $26,550
