Answer:
d. common stock of $150,000.
Explanation:
First and foremost, upon issuance of stocks, the common stock account would be credited with the total par value of the shares issued as shown below:
total par value=par value per share*shares issued
total par value=$5*30,000
total par value=$150,000
The paid-in capital would be credited with the total amount the cash proceeds from the share issue exceeds the total par value
total cash proceeds=$8*30,000
total cash proceeds=$240,000
paid-in capital=$240,000-$150,000
paid-in capital=$90,000
The correct option is the common stock of $150,00, except that the number of shares issued is 20,000,hence, the common stock of $100,000 would be correct
Check a similar question below to drive home my point:
Kerwin Packaging Corporation began business in 2010 by issuing 30,000 shares of $5 par common stock for $8 per share and 10,000 shares of 6%, $10 par preferred stock for par. At year-end, the common stock had a market value of $10. On its December 31, 2011 balance sheet, Kerwin Packaging would report:
a. common stock of $300,000.
b. paid-in capital of $150,000.
c. common stock of $240,000.
d. common stock of $150,000.
