Answer 1

Answer:

$0.71

Explanation:

Calculation to determine What was the average selling price for the common stock issued

Using this formula

Common stock issued avarage selling price=

Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par-Common÷Common Stock par value per share

Let plug in the formula

Common stock issued avarage selling price=($600,000+$98,000)/($98,000÷$0.10)

Common stock issued avarage selling price=$698,000/$980,000

Common stock issued avarage selling price=$0.71

Therefore the average selling price for the common stock issued is $0.71
