Question

On June 1, 2019, 4,000 shares of $10 par value common stock are issued in exchange for new equipment. The equipment has a fair market value of $116,000. In recording this transaction, what amount should be allocated to APIC - CS?

Answer 1

$76,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Equipment Fair Value = $116,000. Thus, total value of shares issued is same.

No of common shares issued = 4,000

Price per share issued = 116,000/4000 = $29/shares

Par value per share = $10

Total Par Value of Shares issued = 4,000*$10 = $40,000

Amount in excess of par per share = $29 - $10 = $19

Total Amount to be credited in APIC-CS = $19 * 4000 = $76,000. Thus, amount to be allocated to Additional Paid In Capital-CS = $76,000.
