Answer:
The journal entry is as follows:
Cash A/c Dr. $51.45
To Paid in capital in excess of par value A/c $51.42
To Common shares A/c $0.03
(To record the sale of the shares)
Note: The amount mentioned in debit and credit column in the above journal entry are in the millions of dollar.
Workings:
Cash = Shares sold × shares closing price
= $3 million × $17.15
= $51.45 million
Common shares = Shares sold × Par value per share
= $3 million × $0.01
= $0.03 million
Paid in capital in excess of par value = Cash - Common shares
= $51.45 - $0.03
= $51.42
Not being able to pay it off is a big one.
