Answer:

b. Issue of common stock for $150 million in cash

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the journal entry would be

Cash A/c Dr $150 million

To Common stock A/c $100 million

To Paid-in capital - the excess of par $50 million

(Being the common stock is issued)

In this transaction, the common stock is issued for cash of $150 million in which the common stock is $100 million and the remaining balance $50 million ($150 million - $100 million) would be credited to the paid-in capital account.

Hence, the correct option is b.
