(If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field. Enter your answers in millions (i.e., 10,000,000 should be entered as 10).)

Answer 1

A. Journal Entry:

Equipment $228

Note Payable $4

Cash $224

Madison Shoes acquired the Equipment valued at $228 so debit that to Equipment.

The company signed $4 note so credit Note Payable as a liability.

Then the rest is credited to Cash which is $228 - $4 = $224

B. Journal Entry:

Cash $25

Common stock $25

Madison Shoes received cash from stockholders so debit to cash and pair it with a credit to common stock to recognize the increase in stockholders' equity.

C. No Journal Entry

There is No Journal Entry required since the company is not affected by the buying and selling of stocks by the investors.

The company should only journalize the transactions that affects the company directly.
