Answer 1

cash 4,900,000 debit

common stock 700,000 credit

additional paid-in 4,200,000 credit

in excess of Par-value

treasury stock: 360,000 debit

cash 360,000 credit

dividends 340,000 debit

dividends payable 340,000 credit

Step-by-step explanation:

cash proceeds: 700,000 x 7 = 4,900,000

common stock: 700,000 x 1 = 700,000

additional paid-in: (difference) 4,200,00

treasury stock: 20,000 x 18 = 360,000

outstanding shares: 700,000 - 20,000 = 680,000

cash dividends: 680,000 x 0.50 = 340,000
